Warming and relieving, Cajeput is often used in massage balms to relieve aches and pains whether caused by upset tummies, injury or rheumatism, and is one of the key ingredients used in Tiger Balm.

Cajeput helps ease breathing conditions, whether they're caused by asthma, sinus congestion or a respiratory infection, making it ideal to add to a diffuser when viruses are around, and can also soothe a sore throat by breathing in the mist.

It can be used as a disinfectant and is beneficial to help prevent the spread of infection.
