Eucalyptus essential oil has a fresh woody, earthy scent, with a strong medicinal aroma and a thin consistency. When used in aromatherapy, it is considered the top note.

There are over seven hundred species of eucalyptus, many of which are used for the production of essential oil, but only a small number are effective for use in aromatherapy. The most famous is Eucalyptus globulus and should not be mixed with Eucalyptus radiata or any other type of eucalyptus essential oil.

Eucalyptus has a positive effect on arthritis, relieves rheumatism and muscle pain, and is often used as a supplement to ointments and wraps. It relieves sinusitis, cough, cold symptoms, bronchitis, and has also proven useful in the treatment of chronic obstructive bronchitis. It can be used to treat Candida mutant fungus, acts against acne, cleanses minor wounds, relieves symptoms of diabetes and strengthens the immune system.

Some dentists use eucalyptus oil as a solvent to restore root canals, and very often can be found as an additive in toothpaste. In addition, eucalyptus oil is useful as an insect repellent and as a natural stain remover. If properly diluted, it can be used on pets and humans.

Eucalyptus oil is a fantastic addition to oils and massage lotions, household cleaning products, personal hygiene products (including shampoos and conditioners).

When inhaled, eucalyptus essential oil can be used to enhance emotional well-being, and during meditation is useful for focusing on relationships.
