Niaouli essential oil, from Melaleuca quinquenervia viridiflora (or MVQ), is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of an evergreen tree native to Australia - similar in appearance and aroma to Eucalyptus. Now cultivated in Spain (this oil's source), the leaves of the tree are strongly fragrant when crushed, with a strong, slightly sweet, fresh, camphoraceous aroma, considered a 'middle note'.

Niaouli oil is considered an analgesic, antiseptic, bactericide, cicatrisant, insecticide, decongestant and vermifuge. It's aroma is stimulating and uplifting; it clears the head and may aid in concentration. Niaouli oil is considered an excellent antiseptic for treating pulmonary infections such as bronchitis and sinusitis. For respiratory problems blends well with Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Pine, Myrtle, and Ravensara (another favorite for respiratory infections). A few drops of Niaouli oil may be added to a bowl of hot water and inhaled to get the oil's vapors into infected areas. In cases of acne, Niaouli can be dabbed on the skin using a cotten swab or tissue paper - it may help dry the skin and clear up inflammed areas.

Niaouli may be used in place of Tea Tree oil when the smell of Tea Tree is found objectionable due to its somewhat medicinal aroma. The medicinal and aromatic properties of the two are considered similar, with Niaouli having a somewhat less harsh scent - and being more commonly used for respiratory conditions.
