💚Use for Children & Elderly (1%)
For children, elderly, or those with increased sensitivity, Cajeput essential oil should always be used at a maximum dilution of 1%.
General guideline:
1 drop Cajeput in 10 ml carrier oil
Recommended applications:
- Gentle chest or upper back massage during seasonal discomfort
- Light application on the soles of the feet for overall comfort
- Diffusion in small amounts (1–2 drops) for short periods in well-ventilated spaces
Avoid use on the face and near the eyes.
Keep applications gentle, limited in frequency, and focused on comfort and freshness rather than intensity.
This approach respects both the stimulating nature of Cajeput and the needs of more sensitive systems, allowing the oil to support without overwhelming.
