Description
Description
Niaouli organic essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of Melaleuca quinquenervia (broad-leaved paperbark), a close relative of tea tree native to South Africa and the South Pacific.
Well-loved for its fresh, camphoraceous, and faintly lemony aroma, this gentle oil is a household staple for respiratory support, immune boosting, natural skin care, and safe, effective cleansing.
Key Benefits & High-Intent Features
-
Respiratory & Immune Support: A top remedy for colds, blocked or stuffy noses, chest congestion, flu, sinusitis, and related discomforts. Its expectorant and antiviral qualities make it a preferred choice in winter wellness blends, inhalation oils, or chest rubs.
-
Antibacterial, Antifungal & Antiviral: Selectively targets bacteria (like streptococcus and pneumococcus), supports wound cleaning, and helps manage cold sores, skin infections, and fungal issues.
-
Skin Tonic & Purifier: A key ingredient in formulations treating acne, oily or congested skin, as well as for toning, clearing, and soothing sunburns or minor skin irritations. Gentler than tea tree and well-tolerated by sensitive or delicate skin.
-
Anti-inflammatory & Analgesic: Naturally reduces redness, swelling, pain, and inflammation—ideal for massage blends and topical cleansers.
-
Household & Air Purification: Powerful for cleansing, deodorizing, and purifying home air; discourages germs and unwanted microbes. Also effective as an insect repellent.
-
Circulatory & Decongestant: Used in lymphatic massages to support healthy circulation and reduce puffiness or congestion.
-
Mild Aroma & Versatility: Softer than eucalyptus and tea tree, niaouli is excellent for children, sensitive adults, and those who prefer gentler oils.

Niaouli produces a remarkable essential oil, both perfectly efficient and extremely well tolerated.
Just like Lavender, Niaouli essential oil has an extended range of properties and is considered to be one of the top 10 essential oils to keep in any household.
From the same family plants as Tea tree ( Melaleuca alternifolia), the superb Niaouli essential oil is softer to use on sensitive skins and is more suited to help with respiratory discomforts in adults, than tea tree essential oil.
DO NOT USE IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY SUFFERING FROM AN HORMONE-DEPENDENT CONDITION (Breast, prostate cancer…)
