Description

Our Organic Niaouli Essential Oil is a "must-have" for any natural first-aid kit, offering powerful cleansing benefits without the harshness of its more famous cousin, Tea Tree.

Distilled from the leaves of the Melaleuca quinquenervia tree, Niaouli has a fresh, sweet, and camphoraceous (Eucalyptus-like) aroma. It is a powerful, yet gentle, multi-purpose oil, prized for its respiratory and skincare benefits.


Key Benefits & Uses:

The #1 Gentle Respiratory Support: This is its most celebrated use. Niaouli is a powerful natural expectorant and decongestant, but it's much gentler on the system than Eucalyptus. It is a "go-to" for:

Diffusing during a cold or flu to clear congestion.

Using in a steam inhalation to soothe a "stuck" cough.

Supporting clear breathing during allergy season.

Gentle Skin Purifier (For Acne): Its potent antiseptic and antibacterial properties make it brilliant for skin. It's an excellent, gentle alternative to Tea Tree for cleansing acne-prone or oily skin without over-drying.

Natural First-Aid: Like Tea Tree, it's a fantastic oil for a first-aid kit. It can be used (diluted) to cleanse minor cuts, scrapes, and soothe insect bites.


Warming Muscle Relief: It has a stimulating, warming effect that helps boost circulation, making it a great addition to a massage blend for sore, tired muscles.

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…)
