Aroma
  • A penetrating, cool, and bittersweet-camphorous aroma.
  • It is often described as a "middle ground" between Tea Tree and Eucalyptus.
  • It opens with a piercing, medicinal top note that immediately opens the airways, followed by a sweet, woody-balsamic heart.
  • It has a clean, slightly earthy dry-down that is less "shouty" than Tea Tree, feeling more refined and airy.

Common Usage Respiratory Support & Congestion

  • Effective Decongestant: Helps break up thick mucus and phlegm in the lungs and sinuses, making it ideal for bronchitis and heavy colds.
  • Sinus Relief: Its penetrating aroma helps open blocked nasal passages and can ease the pressure of sinus headaches.
  • Managing "Wet" Coughs: Acts as a powerful expectorant to help the body expel respiratory waste more efficiently.
  • Inhalation for Colds: Used in steam inhalations to soothe the throat and sanitize the upper respiratory tract.

Advanced Skincare & Protection

  • Antiseptic for Wounds: Excellent for cleaning minor cuts, grazes, and burns; it is known for being less irritating to the skin than many other "cleansing" oils.
  • Acne & Oily Skin: Helps regulate sebum production and eliminates the bacteria responsible for breakouts without being overly drying.
  • Radiation Skin Support: Traditionally used in Europe to protect the skin and support healing for those undergoing radiation therapy (always consult a medical professional).
  • Fungal Defense: Highly effective against athlete's foot, nail fungus, and other topical fungal infections when diluted in a carrier oil from clubarome.com.
  • Tissue Regenerator: Stimulates the growth of new skin cells, aiding in the fading of scars and the healing of slow-to-mend skin ulcers.

Immune & Circulatory Health

  • Immune System Booster: Acts as an immunostimulant, helping to fortify the body's natural defenses when you feel "run down."
  • Venous Tonic: Helps improve circulation and is often included in blends for varicose veins or "heavy legs" to move stagnant blood.
  • Purifying the Air: Diffusing Niaouli helps neutralize airborne pathogens, making it a great choice for shared spaces during flu season.

Mental Clarity & Energy

  • Combatting Brain Fog: The camphoraceous scent is mentally stimulating, helping to clear confusion and improve focus during long tasks.
  • Restoring Vitality: Helps lift the "heaviness" associated with physical and mental exhaustion, providing a gentle energy boost.

Blending note A highly functional "utility" oil. It works best when paired with oils that share its antiseptic properties or citruses that can "beautify" its camphorous edge

Do you know? The name "Gomenol" comes from the Gomen region in New Caledonia, where the oil was first commercially produced. During the World Wars, it was a standard-issue antiseptic for French soldiers to treat wounds and prevent infection

Contraindication
  • Because of its high 1,8-cineole content, it should not be applied near the face or nose of infants or very young children.
  • It is generally non-sensitizing and non-irritating to the skin when diluted properly (1–3%).
