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 60 feet tall and 15 feet wide. doTERRA has selected five unique species to create its proprietary Eucalyptus: Eucalyptus radiata, E. polybractea, E. kochii, E. loxophleba, and E. globulus. The primary chemical component of these species is eucalyptol (1,8-Cineole), which is where this essential oil blend gets many of its benefits. The camphoraceous, herbaceous aroma can be revitalizing. Due to the oil’s main constituent, 1,8 cineole, Eucalyptus also has cleansing properties. Use aromatically or topically to promote feelings of clear breathing and open airways. Eucalyptus also adds to a soothing massage.

Previously, our Eucalyptus essential oil was solely Eucalyptus radiata. Now, this species is the first in the blend!
Known as the blue-leaved mallee or just blue mallee, Eucalyptus polybractea is sweeter than most eucalyptus species—almost like honey.
Eucalyptus kochii is also a hero ingredient in abode® Refreshing Blend and other products in that family.
This part of the essential oil blend is actually Eucalyptus loxophelba subspecies lissophlia. Yes, that’s a mouthful, so it’s commonly referred to as eucalyptus lox liss.
The final species is Eucalyptus globulus. You may be familiar with this particular species. It’s used in doTERRA On Guard® Protective Blend.
