In Malaysia and Indonesia, Cajeput is used to treat stomach and intestinal problems, valuable for colds & flu, chronic rheumatism as well as an insecticide. Cajeput was effectively used to cure Indian cholera. It has been used for eye infections and for relief for a toothache.

There are times when we feel our energy either leaking away from us or we feel it being sucked out of us, leaving us feeling drained and tired. When we feel we need to seal our energy to keep for ourselves, we can use Cajeput essential oil to assist.

Chemistry

Chemical Components

Cajeput Essential Oil contains a significant percentage of 1,8 cineole which has been proven effective in clinical trials for rhinosinusitis, showing improvement in nasal obstruction (stuffy nose), nasal secretion (runny nose) and frontal headache. In another trial with chronic bronchitis, a comination of a-pinene, limonene and 1,8 cineole produced better results than anti-biotics.
