Eucalyptus Essential Oil
Eucalyptus Essential Oil is obtained through steam distillation of the fresh leaves of the eucalyptus tree (Eucalyptus globulus and related species), native to Australia but now cultivated in many parts of the world. The oil has a sharp, fresh, and camphor-like aroma that is instantly recognizable and widely valued for its therapeutic properties.
This essential oil contains eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) as its primary active compound, which contributes to its cooling, clearing, and purifying qualities. It is commonly used in aromatherapy to support respiratory health, ease congestion, and promote mental clarity. When applied topically in diluted form, it provides a cooling effect that may soothe muscle discomfort and minor skin irritations.
Note: Eucalyptus essential oil is very strong and should always be diluted before topical use. It should not be ingested unless under professional guidance and must be kept away from young children, infants, and pets, as it can be toxic if misused. Avoid contact with eyes and sensitive skin.
