Cajaput essential oil is used to treat colds, headaches and toothaches. It is very effective in fighting infections caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi, such as tetanus (bacteria), influenza (virus) and infectious diseases such as cholera and typhoid fever.

Cajuput oil is very efficient in killing and repelling insects. Its insecticidal properties are so strong that its diluted solution can be sprayed or vaporized with the help of a vaporizer to drive away mosquitoes, ants, and many other types of pests from rooms. A diluted solution of cajuput oil can also be rubbed on the body to keep insects away.

Like eucalyptus oil, cajuput oil is also an expert decongestant and expectorant. Being a decongestant, it provides immediate relief in congestion of the nose, throat, and other respiratory organs as well as for cough, infections, and the resulting inflammation of the throat.

It is analgesic in nature, meaning it reduces the sensation of pain. When applied locally, such as on an infected tooth in case of toothache or rubbed on the forehead in case of headache. Apply only in highly diluted solutions.
