ABOUT THE PLANT

With more than 600 species, eucalyptus offers a variety of scents. The blue-gum variety is the most widely cultivated and produces most of the oil available today. Pharmaceutically, E. globulus is the most important. The Globulus tree is planted practically all over the world in temperate and semi-tropical regions and in tropical highlands or swamps; there are more eucalyptus trees in Brazil than in any country outside of Australia.

Lemon: An attractive, tall evergreen tree with a smooth dimpled bark, blotched in grey, cream and pink, cultivated as an ornamental. The trunk grows fast, straight and to considerable height, and is used for timber. The young leaves are oval, the mature leaves narrow and tapering.

Blue gum: A beautiful, tall, evergreen tree up to 90m (295ft) high. The young trees have bluish-green oval leaves while the mature trees develop long, narroqw, yellowish leaves, creamy-white flowers and a smooth, pale grey bark often covered with a white powder.

Eucalyptus citradora essential oil is distilled from the leaves of what is considered a "stately" eucalyptus tree, gowning over 150ft. With slightly white/mottled bark, the narrow leaves release a strong lemon aroma. Also known as Lemon-Scented gum, lemon scented iron gum, spotted gum, lemon eucalyptus

A colorless or pale yellow mobile liquid obtained by steam distillation from the partially dried leaves and young twigs.

ABOUT THE OIL

Distilled from the leaf and small twig

OF INTEREST

ABOUT THE PLANT

A majestic evergreen tree that grows up to 90 meters tall, the 'Blue Gum' Eucalyptus is native to Australia, particularly Tasmania, and is the most well known of the Eucalyptus varieties. When the term 'Eucalyptus oil' is used without mention of a species, this is usually the one. Of the 500 types of Eucalyptus tree species that yield an essential oil, Eucalyptus globulus is the most common for medicinal purposes due to its high cineole content.

ABOUT THE OIL

Steam-distilled from the leaves of organically cultivated Corsican Blue Gum Eucalyptus trees, this oil is light-weight, clear, and slightly blue-tinted. It has a camphoraceous odor and a woody-sweet undertone. We also have the slightly sweeter Eucalyptus Radiata (Narrow Leaf) variety available.

steam distilled from the fresh or partly dried, long and narrow leaves of this large beautiful tree. The oil is colorless and quite mobile when rectified and pale to dark yellow when old or poorly stored.

OF INTEREST

It was introduced at the Paris Exposition in 1867 after the Melbourne, Australia, botanical garden’s director suggested it as an antiseptic replacement for cajeput. The Grench government planted the trees in Algeria to ward off the “noxious gasses” thought to be responsible for malaria. It worked, but mainly because the trees transformed the marsh into dry land, thus eliminating the mosquito’s habitat. Australia’s “blue forests” are named for the haze produced by the tree’s essential oil, which mutes the surrounding scenery.

This essential oil has traditionally been used to treat infectious conditions.
