Eucalyptus Polybractea, Organic

Organic Eucalyptus polybractea Essential Oil

Eucalyptus polybractea is a multi-trunked, evergreen tree with blue-green leaves. It’s a member of the Myrtle family, is native to Australia, and is a fast grower that quickly reaches a height of about twenty feet. It’s small white flowers are hermaphroditic and are pollinated by bees. Flowers bloom in clusters between March and June. It’s widely grown in western Australia for essential oil production and for its ability to help desalinize marshy coastal areas.

Organic Eucalyptus polybractea Essential Oil, aka Eucalyptus Blue Mallee Essential Oil is one of the strongest Eucalyptus selections and has a very high percentage of 1,8 cineole (80% and higher). Herbal preparations of the plant have been used for centuries by the aboriginal peoples of Australia, where it is more commonly known today as “Blue Mallee”.  This essential oil has been described by a few  aromatherapists as having subtle effects that include the enhancement of psychic abilities but more commonly it’s described as supporting mental clarity and focus. We suggest using it in small amounts and avoiding use before bedtime because we find it to have a somewhat stimulating effect.  Avoid using this essential oil on or near the face of anyone under ten years of age.

Native to Australia, the Blue mallee (Eucalyptus polybractea) is a much smaller relative of its eucalyptus cousins. This many-trunked tree has smooth bark and narrow gray-green leaves and it’s from the tree’s fresh leaves that our therapeutic quality Eucalyptus Blue Mallee Essential Oil is obtained via steam distillation

The leaves of Eucalyptus polybractea have played an important part in the traditional medicinal practices of the indigenous people of Australia, where they have been brewed into tea for use in cases of cold and other respiratory issues and either used as tea or rubbed into the skin for relief of body aches and insect bites.
