In Chinese Medicine: Cajeput is a fresh-pungent oil used to tonify the Qi and warm the exterior. Pungent fragrance energy has a dispersing, ascending course of movement, working at the surface of the body rather than the interior — which is what places Cajeput among the exterior-warming oils rather than the deeper tonics.
Chinese Medicine functions adapted from Peter Holmes, L.Ac., M.H., Channeling Fragrance. The full profile — treatment patterns, acupoint combinations and synergist oils — is in the book.
Caution: This is a strong oil: avoid all use on its own in babies and infants, including with nebulizers in the same room.
Pharmacology: Cajeput oil is dominated by the oxynenating, restorative constituent 1,8 cineole and a string of valuable monoterpenes.
Complementary blending: Saro, Niaouli, Ravintsara, Lavender, Rosemary, Eucalyptus (all types), Coriander leaf, Lemongrass, May chang and all citrus oils in general

This oil is amazing! I use it primarily to activate Dr. Zhu scalp acupuncture lines in patients who cannot tolerate needles. 1 drop on a cotton swab rubbed into the desired zone is all that's needed. If the patient gets relief I teach them how to use the oil at home so they can get relief in between treatments. Applied topically Cajeput also dissipates bruises and dries up cold sores faster than anything else I know.
