Cajeput oil

Cajuput essential oil in clear glass vial

Cajuput oil is a volatile oil obtained by distillation from the leaves of the myrtaceous trees Melaleuca leucadendra, Melaleuca cajuputi, and probably other Melaleuca species. The trees yielding the oil are found throughout Maritime Southeast Asia and over the hotter parts of the Australian continent.[1] The majority of the oil is produced on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.[2] The name "cajeput" is derived from its Malay name, kayu putih or "white wood".[3][4]
