For the month of February, with Winter air all around and people coughing over you, we thought that Eucalyptus Oil is a very relevant oil to share with you.
Eucalyptus Oil that Aroma uses in our products and sells comes from the Blue Mallee tree. This variant of the Eucalyptus Oil has the highest level of Cineol content and Eucalyptol.
Eucalyptus essential oil is harvested from the leaf of the eucalyptus plant and is found all over the world. While its benefits have been known for hundreds of years, it wasn’t until recently that it began to be used commercially. It is a pale, yellow liquid. It can be found in many hygiene, soaps and products, and it offers some very specific benefits.
The original eucalyptus tree was found in Australia and belonged to the Myrtacae family. The trees grow up to 480 feet tall in damp areas, typically in hillsides or valleys with deep soil.
Eucalyptus oil has an extremely strong scent which many find appealing. This means that it can be added to perfumes and other products to add a pleasing aroma. For some, this fragrance also has some very soothing properties that help them relax.
This oil can be successfully blended best with helichrysum oil, lavender, tea tree, rosemary, lemongrass, pine, lemon, thyme, cedarwood, peppermint, benzoin, black pepper, ginger, patchouli, juniper, lime and bergamot.
Please remember that the strong aroma and menthol content should be avoided during pregnancy. This oil should also NOT be taken orally as it can be toxic.
