Product description

Lemon eucalyptus essential oil is obtained from the fragrant leaves of the Eucalyptus citriodora tree, and this oil is known in aromatherapy by both its botanical name, and as lemon eucalyptus.

Although this essential oil is not as popular in aromatherapy as the ubiquitous Eucalyptus globulus, it is fast growing in reputation due to its powerful bactericidal and insect repellent properties.

Lemon Eucalyptus Oil Benefits and Uses

Insect Repellent: The most common use of lemon eucalyptus essential oil is for repelling insects; the significant content of citronellal is extremely effective for driving away insects, including those that bear diseases, for up to 8 hours after application. In fact, lemon eucalyptus essential oil has been praised as a viable replacement for DEET and other dangerous insecticides, and has proven to be just as effective.

Insect Bites: Not only does lemon eucalyptus essential oil repel insects, but it can also speed the healing of insect bites, particularly of those from mosquitoes, gnats, beetles, and biting flies. If you have already applied the oil, then a bug bite is unlikely, but it is good to know that this oil is both a preventative measure and a treatment.

Respiratory Health: When you inhale this essential oil, or allow it to be diffused in your home, you can give your respiratory system a major boost. The active ingredients in this oil are known to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can soothe the respiratory tracts and prevent coughing and additional congestion. Some of the antioxidant compounds in this oil can also attack the underlying infection to speed healing. This oil is often included in chest rubs to lower congestion, when applied before going to sleep.

Anti-inflammatory Properties: Commonly used to relieve joint disorders and pain from muscle aches and workout strains, this oil can be topically applied (a few drops is all you need) to the affected area for rapid relief. It has specifically been praised for its effect on osteoarthritis. When it comes to inflammation, however, it can affect the body in countless ways, so both inhalation and topical applications are recommended.

Room Deodorizer: Diffusing lemon eucalyptus essential oil is a popular choice, given its invigorating properties and ability to improve respiratory and immune health. However, some people report sensitivity in their eyes when the oil is spread throughout the room, so use this oil in oil diffusers with caution, particularly if your eyes are sensitive.
