I put this in my husband's homemade hemorrhoid medicine. It really seems to help heal them and it smells great!

I have never use this one before and thought maybe to give it a try. It smells like eucalyptus, and maybe a little stronger, I like it. I add a little to my cp soap and the smell came out nicely. Thanks CG always carry special product that I cannot find in other places.

This is a great oil. I purchased it some time ago to use in a blend for athletes foot treatments for some clients. It has worked very well and made all who have tried it very happy with the results!

This oil has a pleasant smell that reminds me of being out in the woods. I originally bought it for its pain relieving properties to be part of a muscle pain massage oil mix, but I've found myself using it in other mixes. Although I only bought this oil in the 1 oz size 3.5 months ago, I've already used up 2/3 of it. Definitely a useful piece of my EO collection!

I use cajeput in my smelling salts and in my mustard soak. The response I get to the mustard soak in particular both the scent and therapeutic effects is tremendous. Of course, there are many ingredients working in concert, but I can only assume cajeput has a lot to do with it as it's the predominant essential oil. Personally, I find the scent to be very pleasant and uplifting; stronger than eucalyptus and rosemary, but definitely similar, more alpine in a sense.
