Eucalyptus Oil

Eucalyptus oil is an essential oil distilled from the leaves of the eucalyptus tree, primarily Eucalyptus globulus or Eucalyptus radiata. Known for its sharp, refreshing scent and therapeutic properties, eucalyptus oil has a pale yellow color and a thin, watery consistency. Its aroma is distinctly crisp and camphorous with a hint of sweetness, making it a common ingredient in medicinal balms, salves, and aromatherapy blends.

The oil is highly valued for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and analgesic qualities, making it effective in treating respiratory issues, soothing muscle pain, and even boosting mental clarity. Eucalyptus oil is often diluted and used topically or as an inhalant but must be handled with care due to its potency.
