Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Eucalyptus globulus

Plant and Oil Description

Known as southern blue gum, this species of eucalyptus hails from southeastern Australia and has a wealth of traditional and modern-day uses. The tree can grow to over 300-feet tall and its leaves are steam distilled to produce its fragrant essential oil. The wood is commonly used to make the traditional Australian wood instrument, the didgeridoo after the tree is hollowed out by termites. In the Australian outback, eucalyptus trees have been shown to naturally draw up gold from tens of meters underground, and store tiny amounts of gold deposits in their leaves and branches. The clean, spring-like fragrance of the essential oil has made it a popular choice for enhancing modern soaps, detergents, housecleaning products, mouth rinses, and perfumes. 

What’s it Good For?

1. Sinus congestion and coughing – The main chemical component of eucalyptus oil has a wealth of homeopathic benefits for helping to ease sinus congestion. Our eucalyptus oil can be used to naturally suppress coughing and help open airways, while also clearing the air of bacteria and other harmful microbes. Add to a vaporizer or a bowl of hot water and breathe in the steam to help relieve sinus congestion and coughing. Use with SenseLAB’s tea tree oil to decrease inflammation in the nasal passageways and clove oil for antispasmodic benefits.
2. Insect repellent – Use our eucalyptus oil with SenseLAB’s citronella, rosemary, and lemongrass oils to create a powerful insect repellent—especially effective for warding off mosquitos! Dilute with a carrier oil and apply to the skin prior to entering an area known for mosquitos and other biting pests. Can also be used to create a spray!
3. Healthy hair – Our eucalyptus oil is a fantastic all-around resource for promoting healthy hair. A multitude of studies has shown that the anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antiseptic properties of eucalyptus enable it to help stimulate the hair follicles, promote hair growth, alleviate itchy scalps and dandruff, and even treat head lice! Dilute with a carrier oil and massage into the scalp, or add to your regular shampoo or conditioner.
4. Clean fragrance – Capture the essence of clean with SenseLAB’s eucalyptus oil—perfect for boosting your home fragrance collection, laundry detergent, or soaps. Blend with complementary oils, such as SenseLAB’s lemongrass, tangerine, spearmint, or lavender oils, to customize your preferred scent. Create your essential oil blend then dilute in water for a room freshening spray, add directly to laundry detergent, or dilute in your regular hand soap or body wash. Makes a great personalized gift year-round!
