Niaouli

 

Melaleuca viridiflora -- distilled from the leaves and twigs.  Large evergreen tree, a Member of the Melaleuca family along with CAJUPET, TEA TREE, MANUKA and  LEMON TEA TREE, but smells more like EUCALYPTUS. Has a camphoraceous, fresh, somewhat fruity, earthy and somewhat harsh sweet, musty aroma. It is less likely to irritate the skin than Tea Tree. It is one of the least expensive oils and should be in everyone's arsenal of oils.

 

CAUTIONS: Inexpensive and a great choice for diffusing, however do not use it on the face of babies or young children. The 1,8-cineole is toxic for them if they inhale it.
