In reply to: Is Cajuput or Cajeput the best essential oil in terms of making the stain darker? posted by Faery Ring on June 30, 2001 at 00:44:50:
Seems so far the key is terpinol content. Tea Tree is high interpinol, as is frankincense, ravensara, cajeput, and some others.
There are 2 or 3 other molecules look promising. We'll test about 3
dozen oils at Sirius Rising against each other....and post results.
Pine oil didn't have much in the way of terpinol, but it has other
useful stuff.
I suspect the cajeput that I got from Wyndemere has a relatively high
level of terpinol vs cineol .... or that's what my nose says. Smelt
intensely of terpinol + menthol ... sort of.
anyway sure beats any euc I ever saw!
