Commonly known as lemon-scented eucalyptus. The oil has a strong fresh
citronella-like odor with a sweet balsamic undertone. Very effective
insect repellent due to a higher citronellal content than citronella.
Cooling, refreshing, energizing. Its fresh aroma is great to deodorize and to keep insects at bay.
Suggested Use:Use
in a diffuser to freshen your environment. Add 2-3 drops to a bowl of
hot water to inhale the fragrant steam, or use it in the sauna/steam
bath.
Traditional folk medicine has used its
cooling effect to ease feverish conditions. There is another historic
reason why Eucalyptus is also commonly called "Fever tree": When the
British colonists came to Australia, they found that planting Eucalyptus
groves helped to keep insects and thereby contagious diseases at bay.
Being highly water-hungry plants, the Eucalyptus trees also aided in
drying out waterlogged, marshy soils, turning them into arable land, and
reducing the breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
This is one of the lesser expensive essential oils, you should expect to pay less than $10.00 for an ounce of this essential oil. Blended with a Carrier Oil, this is a eco friendly bug repellant that you can apply to your skin.
Have a Great Day,
