Apply the oil to cleansed skin where necessary. For use on oily scalps and hair (or just because it smells great) you can also add a few drops of cajeput essential oil to your shampoo.

To inhale the essential oil or when using it as an air freshener, use it in an oil lamp/diffuser or a fragrance cube. To use the essential oil in the bath (and that is very nice), mix a few drops of cajeput oil with a neutral bath gel or bath oil.
