Description:
Cajuput Candy is made from a mixture of eucalyptus essential oil. Eucalyptus has long been known to be rich in health-promoting compound inside it. The components contained in eucalyptus plants (Melaleuca cajuputi L) are Antimicrobial Candida albicans, ie normal mouth microorganisms which in certain conditions can become virulent and responsible for the occurrence of oral diseases known as oral candidiasis (creamy white lesions), usually on the tongue or inner cheek. The concentration of eucalyptus essential oil of 0.7 percent can inhibit biofilm formation and reduce the viability of C. albicans during in vitro testing.
