Eucalyptus, Radiata
E. rad v.australiana/dives'C'
Source: Leaves
Origin: Australia
Energetics: Yang
Extraction Method: Steam Distilled
Scent: Eucalyptus radiata has a typical medicinal, eucalyptus aroma with slight citrus notes.
Blends Well With: Most oils and is highly versatile - herb oils, wood oils, floral oils, citrus oils and some exotics.
About
In our opinion much gentler than Eucalyptus globulus. Eucalyptus radiata is becoming a bit harder to procure as time goes on and the price keeps jumping up. This oil is high in 1,8-cineole so is practical for respiratory conditions and muscular aches.
How To Use
Diffuse: Add a few drops to a diffuser to disperse around the room
Topically: Dilute essential oil with any carrier oil at a 2.5% ratio. This equates to 2.5ml essential oil/oils in total mixed with 100ml of chosen carrier oil. 1ml of essential oil is approximately 20-22 drops of oil. Decant into a roller or glass bottle with eye dropper to apply easily or a larger bottle if using for massage. Please note this dilution rate is for adults and children over the age of 6. More information on children and essential oils is on our blog page. Essential Oils should not be used directly on the skin without mixing first with a carrier oil
Inhalation: Add 1-2 drops essential oil to a tissue and inhale at a distance while ensuring that the oil does not come into direct contact with the skin. Alternatively, you can smell the oil directly from the bottle.
Shelf Life
Our freshly decanted Eucalyptus, Radiata essential oil will last for 2-3 years minimum from when you open your amber glass bottle if stored correctly.
Primary Storage Considerations: Keep away from direct light (U.V. radiation). Keep in the amber glass bottle with lid tightly closed. Only open when you need to and decant into a smaller "working" amber glass bottle if possible (and label so you know what is in it). This is to reduce oxidation.
Secondary Storage Considerations: Keep in a refrigerator at around 4 degrees celsius.
