Eucalyptus Globulus Essential Oil

The Blue Gum tree, from which Eucalyptus globulus essential oil is distilled, ranks among the tallest trees in the world. Also known as the Gum Tree or Stringy Bark, this evergreen giant has been known to reach over 300 feet in height. Originally native to Australia and Tasmania, it is now grown on most continents as a source of essential oil, sturdy lumber, and ornamental beauty.

This thin, clear to pale yellow essential oil has a distinctive, camphoraceous odor that is sharp, fresh, and somewhat medicinal. Aromatically, it may overpower floral aromas but blends well with essential oils such as lemon, thyme, rosemary, lavender, pine, and other conifers.

Eucalyptus globulus essential oil has been described by aromatherapists as a natural remedy for body pain, congestion,  and colds. The clean, bracing aroma has been said by some aromatherapists to promote a more optimistic frame of mind, helping to dispel sadness and revitalize the spirit, and is an essential oil that could be considered by those looking for a natural way to boost vitality.
