Cajeput oil, derived from the fresh leaves of the Melaleuca leucadendra tree through steam distillation, is often used in food and traditional medicine. While it is popular for treating conditions like colds, congestion, headaches, toothaches, skin infections, and pain, there is limited scientific evidence to support these claims.
Cajeput oil contains cineole, a chemical that can irritate the skin. This irritation is thought to help relieve pain by stimulating the underlying nerves. However, it’s important to note that cajeput oil should not be confused with tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) or niaouli oil (Melaleuca viridiflora), which come from related trees but have different properties.
