The Profile
Cajuput is a large evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. Its name is derived from the Malay word "kayu-puti," meaning "white wood," referring to its distinctive thick, spongy white bark. The oil has a very fresh, penetrating, and camphoraceous aroma with a medicinal sweet-fruity undertone, closely resembling Eucalyptus but with a slightly softer finish.
Therapeutic Actions
Analgesic, Anti-inflammatory, Antimicrobial, Antiseptic (pulmonary, urinary, intestinal), Antispasmodic, Antineuralgic, Anthelmintic, Carminative, Diaphoretic, Expectorant, Febrifuge, Insecticide, Sudorific, Vermifuge.
Usage & Benefits
· Skin: Acne, oily skin, and insect bites. It is also used to treat various skin infections and as a deterrent for head lice.
· Respiratory: Asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, coughs, sinusitis, sore throats, and whooping cough. It is highly effective at clearing the nasal passages and easing the chest.
· Digestive: Colic, dysentery, enteritis, and gastric spasms. It helps settle the digestive tract while acting as an internal antiseptic.
· Circulatory/Muscular: Arthritis, muscular aches and pains, rheumatism, and neuralgia (particularly toothache and earache).
· Genito-Urinary: Cystitis and urethritis.
Emotional Benefit
Cajuput is an oil of "Clear Direction." It helps to dispel the feelings of being "lost" or "foggy" in one's life. It encourages a sense of mental alertness and helps to clear away sluggishness, allowing the spirit to focus on immediate tasks with clarity and renewed purpose.
The "At Home" Remedies
1. Sinus Clearing Inhalation: Add 2 drops of Cajuput and 1 drop of Peppermint to a bowl of steaming water. Inhale the steam to quickly relieve blocked sinuses and pressure.
2. Toothache Relief: Apply 1 drop of Cajuput (diluted in a small amount of carrier oil) to a cotton bud and dab gently onto the gum near an aching tooth for temporary numbing and antiseptic relief.
3. Insect Repellent Spray: Mix 10 drops of Cajuput with 5 drops of Lavender in 100ml of distilled water. Shake well and spray around the room or on clothing to deter mosquitoes and flies.
