Eucalyptus essential oil distilled from the Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree is the most well known of the Eucalyptus varieties. When one hears the term 'Eucalyptus oil' without a species being mentioned, this is the one. It is extracted from a beautiful, fragrant, tall evergreen tree native to Australia, and particularly Tasmania. Of the 500 types of Eucalyptus tree species which yield an essential oil, Eucalyptus Globulus is the most common for medicinal purposes due to its high cineol (or eucalyptol) content. The oil is a colorless liquid with a camphoraceous odor and a woody-sweet undertone. We also have the slightly sweeter Eucalyptus Radiata (Narrow Leaf) variety available, as well as Eucalyptus Blue Mallee, Eucalyptus Dives (peppermint Eucalyptus) and Eucalyptus Citradora (Lemon Eucalyptus - coming soon) in our summary listings. A traditional household remedy in Australia, the primary use of Eucalyptus essential oil is in support of respiration. It opens the bronchials and encourages oxygen uptake. Eucalyptus oil, when diffused, can kill much of the stapylococcus bacteria in a room, assisting in bacterial-mediated bronchial illness. Eucalyptus oil was the subject of a recent study which revealed its stimulating effect on the immune system. Eucalyptus oil actually enhanced the ability of white blood cells to do their job. This demonstrated one of the unique ways essential oils support human health ~ it was not through direct action as an antibacterial or antiviral (though this oil does demonstrate these effects) ~ rather it 'dramatically stimulated the phagocytic response' of macrophage cells; meaning it enhanced their activity of devouring foreign invaders in the bloodstream. The oil of Eucalyptus can help expel mucus, and may be a supportive remedy for sinusitis, coughs, colds, sore throat, and all bronchial conditions. This essential oil has traditionally been used to treat infectious conditions accompanied by fever, including cholera, malaria, and typhoid. For fever reduction, a cold compress of Eucalyptus Oil and cold water are applied to the legs - this should not be used in cases where the patient feels chilled, however. Beyond the respiratory system, Eucalyptus oil may be helpful with sore joints, rheumatism, sore muscles and sprains. Topical application or addition to baths is indicated for these conditions.
