Description

Used as a natural remedy for centuries by the indigenous people in Australia, eucalyptus oil comes from the leaves and twigs of tall evergreen trees that grow up to 15 metres.
The main chemical constituents in Eucalyptus are eucalyptol and alpha-terpineol, making it an ideal oil for promoting clear breathing and easing muscle tension.

Eucalyptus is also known for being exceptionally purifying—cleansing surfaces and the air in addition to benefitting your hair and skin with its astringent properties.
Add Eucalyptus to your humidifier or diffuser to open your airways and stimulate your mind.
In addition to aromatherapy, eucalyptus is also popular in herbal and naturopathic medicine due to its antiseptic and germicidal efficacy.

You may massage a minute amount it into your palms and inhale for a stimulating and clarifying experience.
