The structure of niaouli oil is rather unique.Its main components are terpene oxides and cineole. Due to the high presence of cineole, we can conclude this oil has an expectorant effect and strengthening qualities which are associated with its levels of terpene alcohols. This property makes the oil an invaluable addition to our Hemorrhoid Control Extra Strength and Varicose Vein Control remedy as it naturally tightens tissue.
We source our niaouli from Madagascar, recognized as the terroir providing the highest quality Niaouli and unadulterated, it is one of our favorite terroirs for medicinal plants. The resulting chemotypes are highly pronounced based on its pure and raw environment which is basically devoid of factories. Other areas this oil comes from such as New Caledonia have shown to be adulterated and suspect. It is important to know your sources.
The Niaouli tree, Melaleuca quinquenervia viridifloria, is incredibly robust. It has the remarkable characteristic of sucking up huge amounts of water, more so than most other deciduous species. It is thus incredibly draining.
