Sweet smelling with notes of camphor and cajeput, Niaouli Oil is steam distilled from evergreen tree’s grey-green leaves and twigs. In aromatherapy, Niaouli oil may:
- Instill feelings of invigoration for the spirit.
- Stimulate concentration.
- Be purifying and cleansing.
What is Niaouli?
Originally native to Australia, Madagascar and the islands of the South Pacific, Niaouli is now found in the Everglades and several other southern states in the U.S.A. The evergreen tree can reach up to 25-60 feet in height and has the ability to withstand destructive floods and droughts.
Niaouli Essential Oil
Steam distilled from the seeds, its aroma is sweet with notes of camphor and cajeput, with some finding the scent reminiscent of eucalyptus and cardamom. Niaouli is related to the tea tree, though its smell its much less medicinal. It can be used as a purifying and cleansing ingredient in many creams, lotions, and soaps, and can be invigorating and uplifting for the spirit while also stimulating concentration.
Blending essential oils opens up a world of aromatherapy possibilities! Other oils that complement Niaouli oil’s sweet fragrance include: coriander, cedarwood, cypress, eucalyptus, juniper berry, lavender, lemon, lime, myrtle, neroli, orange, peppermint, pine, ravensara, rosemary, sweet fennel seed, and tea tree oils.
Piping Rock 100% pure Niaouli Oil is available in 1/2 oz. and 2 oz. bottles.
