 Remedies using Cajeput

While Cajeput is the sister tree to Tea tree and Niaouli the important difference is that Cajeput is skin-irritant and as such less suitable for external use. Burmese mix cajeput oil with camphor for gout. Indochinese use the oil for arthritis and rheumatism, inhaling the oil for colds and rhinitis. Cambodians use the leaves for dropsy. Indonesians apply the oil externally for burns, cramps, colic, earache, headache, pain, skin disease, and toothache. |
