Niaouli is a powerful, slightly sweet aroma with antiviral & antiseptic properties. Its varied uses range from rheumatic pain, respiratory infections, cuts and wounds and muscular aches and pains. It's a great oil to have in your kit and has similar actions to the Tee Tree and Eucalyptus oils. Niaouli Essential Oil isn't the greatest smelling essential oil. What it lacks in aromatic appeal, however, it makes up for in its therapeutic benefits. It's an excellent choice for use with respiratory concerns, skin infections and acne.
