Abstract: If we like to use Cajuput oil after bathing, for aromatherapy, for health, and freshness, can we guess where the plant comes from? It turns out that this Cajuput comes from Indonesia. The Cajuput plant belongs to the guava (Myrtaceae), genus Melaleuca. The native Indonesian Cajuput plant can produce oil through the processing process of leaf extracts and plant branches. The results of this preparation can be used for various needs, including: treating headaches, colds, toothaches, diluting chest mucus, and various other health benefits. Its distinctive aroma gives a unique impression of freshness. The use of Cajuput oil can also be combined with other products, such as antiseptic lotions to treat rheumatism. Apart from that, this oil can also be used without adding any other products. Although Cajuput has been widely used by the community, especially for health therapy, the use of this oil can still be improved. Now the plant has been developed by expanding the planting area as well as applying modern technology to obtain better quality.
