## About
Some mornings arrive heavy and want a window opened. Cajeput is a cousin of tea tree, steam-distilled from the leaves, with a scent reminiscent of eucalyptus. Breathed in, it is stimulating, the kind of bright oil you reach for to clear your mind before the day begins.Ours comes from ethically cultivated trees in Indonesia. It blends readily with bergamot, birch, cardamom, clove bud, geranium, lavender, myrtle, nutmeg, rose and thyme, so it can lean toward spice, flower or forest as you like.DetailsBotanical name: Melaleuca cajuputi (syn. Melaleuca leucadendron)Origin: Indonesia, ethically cultivatedMethod: steam-distilled from the leavesShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingHow to useDiffuse it, or dilute it in a carrier oil for a massage blend; we do not suggest using any oil neat. Robert Tisserand advises that cajeput, like other oils high in 1,8-cineole, can cause breathing problems in young children, so keep it away from them. Store it dark and refrigerated, and decant half-full bottles into smaller, full ones to extend its life.A clear, bright breath for the start of the day.
