Description
Eucalyptus essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of Eucalyptus globulus, a fast-growing evergreen tree native to Australia and widely cultivated across China, Spain, and Portugal. It is one of the most widely recognised and used essential oils in aromatherapy and natural health practices worldwide.
The scent is fresh, clean, and powerfully camphoraceous, with woody and slightly sweet undertones. Eucalyptus oil is rich in 1,8-cineole (also known as eucalyptol), the compound responsible for its characteristic cool, medicinal aroma. This constituent makes eucalyptus one of the most researched essential oils for respiratory and topical applications.
In aromatherapy, eucalyptus essential oil is commonly used in steam inhalation for coughs and congestion, and in diffusers to purify and freshen the air. It is a popular addition to massage blends designed to ease muscle tension and soreness, typically diluted in a carrier oil such as sweet almond or jojoba. It blends well with peppermint, lavender, rosemary, and tea tree.
This 10ml bottle of eucalyptus essential oil is suitable for use in diffusers, oil burners, steam inhalation, and diluted massage blends. Always dilute in a carrier oil before applying to skin. Keep out of reach of children. Not for internal use.
