Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil
Eucalyptus radiata is a tree belonging to the myrtle family. It is also commonly known as narrow-leaved rubber tree. Radiata is also cultivated industrially, the tree is medium-sized, evergreen, usually growing to a height of 30-50 meters. Its young leaves are round in shape, later they stretch and take on an elongated, lance-like shape. The essential oil is extracted from the leaves by steam distillation, which is usually transparent, colorless, camphor-like, fresh smelling, with a slightly airy, sweet note. Its aroma is milder than that of Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil, making it ideal for those who are more sensitive to scents. One of the main components of the essential oil is 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol), which can contain up to 75%. Due to its high cineole content, it has excellent therapeutic effects, and aromatherapy uses it primarily for problems related to the respiratory system. It is an excellent sauna oil, but it is also wonderful for vaporization and inhalation, as it has strong antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, expectorant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can be used to support the immune system in case of respiratory complaints (colds, bronchitis, sinusitis, cough, sore throat), but it is an excellent antidote to chronic fatigue, and it is still the best for preventing winter viruses. It is also excellent in the warmer months, as insects do not like its smell, so we can keep unpleasant bloodsuckers away. It also helps calm and focus the mind when focusing on a task; cleans and deodorizes the home. These are just a few of the many properties that make this essential oil so popular. Emotionally and energetically, Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil soothes in times of exhaustion and can promote feelings of emotional strength. Uplifting and mentally cleansing, it helps reduce negative thoughts and feelings.
