Cajeput Essential Oil (Melaleuca cajeputi)100% Natural Therapeutic Grade Steam Distilled 15ml

Description:

Cajuput oil is a volatile oil obtained by distillation from the leaves of the myrtaceous trees Melaleuca leucadendra, Melaleuca cajuputi, and probably other Melaleuca species. The oil is prepared from leaves collected on a hot dry day, macerated in water, and distilled after fermenting for a night. This oil is extremely pungent, and has the odor of a mixture of turpentine and camphor. It consists mainly of cineol, from which cajuputene, having a hyacinth-like odor, can be obtained by distillation with phosphorus pentoxide.

Cajeput essential oil is a volatile oil derived from the leaves and twigs of the cajeput tree (Melaleuca cajuputi), which is native to Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, Malaysia, and Australia. The oil is extracted through a process of steam distillation.
