This emerges from a tree growing in the Philippines, Malaysia, the islands of Maluku and Sulawesi. Its name means white tree, and in the 17th century, it was introduced to Europe. Cajeput is a member of the family Myrtaceae and the genus Melaleuca. It is a large, robust and energetic tree with long, spear-shaped leaves at its limbs and tendrils of white flowers.
The use of a humidifier produces a new scent that resembles the eucalyptus and the camphor. Even if it is directly connected to essential oil powerhouses such as tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil, Cajeput oil is not well known.
