Species native to the coast of New South Wales in Australia, eucalyptus seem to be surrounded by a bluish halo from the evapotranspiration of the leaves during the summer heat. The essential oil is colorless and its aroma fresh and slightly minty. Very volatile, very penetrating and almost heady, it has this characteristic smell due to its major component (70% eucalyptole).

It is the most pleasant to breathe Eucalyptus essential oil. Its smell is much finer than that of Eucalyptus globulus. Eucalyptus radiata will therefore be better accepted by children. In diffusion, this oil is rather indicated for the respiratory tract.

1,8-Cineol, Limonene, a.-Terpinol
*The chemotype is the identity card of the essential oil, its composition chemically defined by chromatographic analysis. The same plant can have several compositions depending on the place and the variety. A chemotype depends on a property, an odor, a taste.

An essential oil is made up of chemically defined molecules (about 10,000 listed) that have been secreted by special plant cells. It can consist of from one to several hundred molecules, which helps explain why some essential oils have many properties but different therapeutic effectiveness. To guarantee the properties necessary for effective aromatherapy, it is important that an essential oil is 100% pure and natural (not cut, not deterpenated, not mixed with alcohol or vegetable oils) and preferably organic. This is the case for the essential oils we sell. They are sold in tinted bottles with a dropper cap.

Essential oils are mainly used to help you treat many disorders. But be careful, even though essential oils are often extracted from edible plants, their concentrations mean that you have to be careful and respect their healing power. The use of essential oils is relatively simple and if you follow some basic rules, they will put their therapeutic genius at your disposal. Covering with essential oils has more advantages than disadvantages. 

In case of allergy, in particular respiratory, the greatest caution is required for this method of use. The advice of a specialist is then recommended. Do not use essential oils that are aggressive to the mucous membranes (essential oils rich in phenols or aldehydes).
