- Uses
It has been mainly used for fragrance and flavor, and aromatherapists prize it for its grounding and stabilizing properties to calm an agitated mind and body. A 2007 research paper notes that 18 species and four subspecies of the leaf essential oils were investigated by the Australian government; all show applications as insecticides, antimicrobial agents and fragrances (Brody, et al.). These authors state that most of the published work on the genus Callitris has been on the extracts of the wood, but note that their research is the first document to investigate all known Australian species focused on the leaf oil. Little is written on the therapeutic properties of the leaf oil, though with the high proportion of limonene we can extrapolate that it could well have bile stimulating properties (Bowles). Its solvent qualities also point to applications for oily or clogged skin.Use both the leaf and the wood oil sparingly from both a therapeutic and fragrance standpoint.
