Globulus Essential

Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) a tree that was originally native to Australia is now found worldwide and there are now estimated to be in excess 300 species but not all are suitable for producing the essential oil used in aromatherapy. The trees can grow to well over 100mtrs highly scented and oil rich leaves and twigs.

The Aborigines of Australia have for centuries used eucalyptus leaves to cleanse and sterilise wounds and also soothe fevers.

When it was introduced to Africa it was planted in marshy areas where malaria and other infectious diseases were rife, the beneficial affect it had on these areas gave rise to its other name of "fever tree".

The essential oil produced from the leaves and twigs of the tree by a process of steam distillation has a sharp and fresh lemony scent with a touch of camphor. It blends well with many other oils including cedarwood, lavender, cypress, peppermint, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine and pine.

Eucalyptus oil has many uses as a herbal medicine and as aromatherapy oil. It is a useful decongestant and often used for treating colds, coughs, flu, bronchitis and catarrh conditions. The oil has strong antiviral and antibacterial properties making it popular in sprays used in a sick room environment providing both a fresh pleasant aroma and reducing airborne bacteria. Eucalyptus is known to stimulate the mind and the body particularly the immune system which can help with deterring infectious diseases.

An ideal oil for use in baths, as a room fragrancer, and as an inhalant. When combined with other oils such as rosemary, sweet almond or lavender it will produce a safe warming massage oil that will ease aching joints and muscles.

Some care should be taken when using eucalyptus oil (it is not generally recommended for use on babies) as it can irritate sensitive skins, so it is advised that the correct dilution suggestions are observed.
