Melaleuca. leucadendron var. cajeputi is a medium to large sized tree with small branches, thin twigs and white flowers. It grows natively throughout Australia and Southeast Asia.
Cajeput leaves were traditionally used by the First Nations people of Australia on Groote Eylandt (off the coast of Northern Territory) for its pain relieving properties. It is believed the Anindilyakwa people of the region crushed the leaves in their hands and rubbed on to the affected area⁷. First Nations people also used the spongy bark from the Cajeput tree to build shelters, canoes, and shields¹.
The essential oil is distilled from the leaves and the trigs of the cajeput tree. It is colourless to pale yellow or greenish coloured liquid, with a fresh, camphoraceous scent².
The oil is also particularly well known for its use in relieving respiratory congestion associated with colds and flu.
