Nature offers us many gifts that protect and support our health. One of these is eucalyptus essential oil, hidden within plants and flowers. Today, we will explore eucalyptus, whose benefits are especially welcome in the fall.
Eucalyptus essential oil has many beneficial properties for human health. For the Aborigines, the original inhabitants of Australia, it is a primary remedy for healing wounds and fungal infections. Eucalyptus leaf teas were also used to reduce fever.
Eucalyptus cleanses the air, clarifies the mind, and lifts the mood.
Due to its medicinal properties, it is included in these Diochi products: Astofresh drops, and Baktevir.
Its beneficial effects on the psyche help with fear and anxiety before exams, presentations, or interviews, for deepening breathing, and thus deepening meditation. Eucalyptus essential oil is very effective for clarifying our visions and future direction.
A versatile helper for health.
Eucalyptus essential oil also effectively repels insects. Due to its strong antiseptic properties, it is used to treat acne-prone skin. It should be included in blends for local massages of the chest and back for respiratory problems, massage of large and small joints for arthritic pain, and for full-body massage.
We use the medicinal properties of eucalyptus essential oil for:
colds and flu
viral (and bacterial) skin infections (herpes zoster, shingles, and warts)
lung diseases
fevers
viral infections
bronchitis
tonsillitis
seasonal allergies
asthma
inflammation of the sinuses
slow-healing wounds
For fresh and safe air in the home.
Due to its antiviral and antibacterial properties, eucalyptus essential oil is used to purify the air.
A few drops of eucalyptus in an aromatherapy lamp, or in a bowl of water placed on a central heating radiator, will kill pathogens in the air and reduce the risk of infection through droplet transmission.

Eucalyptus is also a great help during studies.
Eucalyptus globulus promotes the production of dopamine and acetylcholine, which are neurotransmitters. Dopamine stimulates, and acetylcholine supports logical thinking, concentration, sorting and storing information, and managing new tasks.
How is eucalyptus essential oil obtained?
Eucalyptus globulus is one of the tallest trees in the world. There are more than 700 species of eucalyptus, and approximately 50 of them are used to extract essential oil. Seventy percent of the species are found in Australia, its native habitat. Eucalyptus globulus is the most commonly used species for oil production, but eucalyptus radiata, citriodora, camaldulensis, polybractea, smithii, and others are also readily available.
All species of eucalyptus are primarily suitable for problems of the respiratory system.
Eucalyptus globulus has a higher content of eucalyptol compared to other species, which gives it very strong antiseptic and antiviral properties. It is particularly effective against viruses. It has traditionally been used for shingles. This type of eucalyptus can also be used for young children, but always highly diluted and preferably in combination with lavender. Eucalyptus eliminates sources of malaria.
In its native Australia, eucalyptus trees are the main food source for koalas. Eucalyptus trees, originally from Australia (Tasmania), have also been planted in other regions, mainly for their fast-growing and high-quality wood, but also for other interesting properties. They can now be found in China, Brazil, Madagascar, the Mediterranean, and South Africa.
Eucalyptus roots dry out the soil very quickly, and can therefore be used for large-scale drainage of wetlands. For example, in Algeria, the planting of eucalyptus trees was part of a successful plan to eradicate malaria. On the other hand, due to the drying of the soil and the highly flammable essential oils (in some species, the flash point is as low as 45 °C), eucalyptus groves are very vulnerable to fires and can therefore gradually destroy original ecosystems.
Eucalyptus is an evergreen, fast-growing tree that can reach up to 100 meters in height. It is one of the tallest trees on Earth. The hardened trunk, covered with smooth gray bark, the outer layer of which occasionally peels off like that of plane trees, only branches at a height of 50 to 80 meters. It has stiff, lanceolate leaves of a light blue-green color. The flowers are small, creamy-colored, and grow on the sides of the branches, like myrtle flowers. It blooms for the first time in the fourth or fifth year of its life. The fruit is a brown capsule. It blooms from February to July.
The commercial distillation of eucalyptus oil began in Australia in 1854. The first works on the antiseptic and antibacterial properties of essential oils were published in Germany by the doctor Cloez (1870).
Eucalyptus essential oil contains eucalyptol (up to 80%), the antiviral terpene oxide cineole, which is effective against influenza A and B viruses. It also contains terpyl alpha-acetate, geranial, neral, alpha-terpineol, geraniol, terpinene, linalool, beta-pinene, limonene, myrcene, alpha-pinene, and other substances.
Method of extraction: Steam distillation from branches and leaves. 1 kg of essential oil is obtained from 50 kg of plant material.
Aroma: Strong, fresh, balsamic, spicy
Color: Colorless to light yellow
Predominant energy (according to the Chinese pentagram): Metal – lungs, large intestine, skin.
