The plant was originally used by the Aborigines for various purposes while its extract was used in traditional medicine to produce Niaouly essential oil, obtained from the leaves and twigs.
Traditionally, an infusion of Niaouly leaves was used to wash children and sick and prepared a decoction to fight infections. Niaouly was also used to treat bronchi and urinary tract. The Kanak took advantage of the cortex to cover the walls and roofs of the huts.
