One of the key uses of cajeput is to relieve the stiff, aching joints caused by rheumatism. Cajeput oil with is traditionally mixed with camphor for gout, and Indochinese use the oil as an external rub for arthritis and rheumatism. Cajeput is antibacterial and clears congestion making it a good inhalant oil for colds and sinus infections. Apply the oil externally for burns, cramps, colic, earache, headache, muscle pain, and toothache. Cajeput is an astringent oil that can benefit oily skin and help clear eczema. In short Cajeput can be used in as many applications as the closely related Melaleuca alternifoliatea, tea tree oil, but with more caution as it is more irritating to the skin in high doses, and cannot be applied undiluted.
