Eucalyptus Oil  Eucalyptus spp.

Australia is home to more than 700 types of fast-growing, flowering evergreens known as eucalyptus. Part of the myrtle family (Myrtaceae), these plants can grow to be 18 meters tall and 4.5 meters wide. dōTERRA has selected five unique species to create its proprietary Eucalyptus: Eucalyptus radiata, E. polybractea, E. kochii, E. loxophleba, and E. globulus.

Description

Why should I add Eucalyptus oil to my collection? The primary chemical component of all five species is eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) from which the essential oil blend gains many of its rich benefits. These include effective surface and skin cleansing properties, as well as a camphoraceous, herbal aroma that can create a revitalizing atmosphere when diffused. Use both aromatically and topically to enjoy the clear, refreshing aroma of Eucalyptus or include in a soothing massage for a stimulating scent.
