Although Cajuput is a tree of the Melaleuca variety, the lingering camphorous scent and simultaneously warming and cooling sensations of Cajuput are similar to Eucalyptus. Cajuput is a wonderful antiseptic for colds and removing mucous, and it is also excellent as a muscle rub, insect repellent, and migraine reliever. Its great advantage over Eucalyptus is that its 1.8 cineol content is much lower, usually around 50%, which makes it much milder and more suitable for children.
