Cajeput (Mlaleuca Cajeputi Powell)

History and Character
Cajeput is a native to Indonesia, Malaysia, Southeast Asia and tropical Australia. It is a tall evergreen tree with thick, pointed leaves and white flowers. Traditionally, it has been used for joint pains, earache, respiratory problems and for repelling head lice and fleas. Cajeput is also known as white tea tree and it is from the same family as tea tree and rosalina.

It shares the energetic sharpness and disinfectant properties of these oils. As with many of the Metal oils, cajeput focuses and cleanses energetic space. It can be useful in cutting through obsessive behaviour by sharpening the mind and freeing it from a sense of entrapment.
