General Description
Niaouli Essential Oil belongs to the same family as Tea Tree and shares some properties.
A powerful antiseptic, Niaouli is used in hospitals in France as an antiseptic in obstetrics and gynaecology.
It cleans minor wounds - add 5/6 drops of Niaouli to a pint (250mls) of boiled and cooled water and apply directly to the affected area.
A great oil to use in chest rubs as it can be beneficial for respiratory problems. It is also a stimulating oil so we would not recommend that it is used at night.
