100% Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil - Eucalyptus

Botanical Name:Eucalyptus fruticetorumBotanical Family: Myrtaceae

Quick Facts

  • Extraction Method: Steam Distillation

  • Part Used: Leaves and terminal branchlets

  • Aroma Note: Top Note

The Profile

This species, often referred to as Blue Mallee, is a small, multi-stemmed shrub native to the arid regions of Australia. It produces an oil that is considered the "clinical standard" for medicinal use. The scent is intensely fresh, camphoraceous, and penetrating, with a distinct, sweet peppermint-like undertone that differentiates it from the more common Eucalyptus globulus.

Therapeutic Actions

Analgesic, antiseptic (powerful), antiviral, decongestant, expectorant, anti-inflammatory, febrifuge, and antibacterial.

Usage & Benefits

  • Skin: Excellent for treating cold sores (Herpes simplex), insect bites, and minor burns. Its antiseptic nature helps prevent infection in small wounds.

  • Respiratory: The primary oil for clearing the "pipes." It excels at treating sinusitis, bronchitis, catarrh, and spasmodic coughing.

  • Immune System: Acts as a preventative during flu season; it is effective in "scrubbing" the air of airborne pathogens and helping to lower fevers.

  • Muscular: Used in liniments to ease the pain of rheumatoid arthritis and general muscular stiffness.

Emotional Benefit

It is the oil of "Mental Expansion." It helps to sweep away feelings of being "suffocated" by life's circumstances. It clears mental exhaustion, dispels sluggishness, and aids in concentration by cooling a heated or agitated mind.

The "At Home" Remedies

  1. The Steam Tent: Add 3 drops to a bowl of steaming water. Cover your head with a towel and inhale for 5–10 minutes to clear stubborn sinus congestion.

  2. The Shoe Sanitizer: Place 2 drops on a cotton ball and leave inside gym shoes overnight to kill odor-causing bacteria and fungus.

  3. Local Antiseptic Dab: For a cold sore, mix 1 drop with a teaspoon of alcohol or witch hazel and dab onto the area using a cotton bud at the first sign of tingling.
