About

Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil, extracted from the leaves of the Eucalyptus radiata tree, is a versatile oil known for its refreshing aroma and wide-ranging therapeutic properties. With its crisp and slightly fruity scent, Radiata oil is prized for its respiratory support, helping to clear congestion and promote easy breathing. Its antimicrobial properties make it valuable for purifying the air and supporting overall immune health. Eucalyptus Radiata oil is also favoured for its ability to promote mental clarity and uplift mood. Whether diffused, applied topically, or used in DIY recipes, Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil offers a rejuvenating and invigorating experience, making it a staple in natural wellness routines.

Ayurvedic Uses

In Ayurveda, Eucalyptus Radiata, known as "Nilgiri Taila" or blue gum tree oil, holds significant therapeutic value. With its cooling and penetrating properties, this essential oil is traditionally utilised to pacify Kapha and Vata doshas, making it particularly beneficial during the Kapha-dominated seasons of spring and winter. Eucalyptus Radiata is revered for its ability to clear respiratory congestion, alleviate coughs, and soothe throat irritations. Its antiseptic and expectorant qualities are often harnessed to support the respiratory system and promote overall wellness. Additionally, the invigorating aroma of Eucalyptus Radiata is believed to enhance mental clarity and uplift the spirit, making it a versatile remedy in Ayurvedic practices for both physical and emotional well-being.

Historical Snippets

Eucalyptus Radiata has a fascinating history rooted in the rich biodiversity of Australia, where the eucalyptus tree thrives. Indigenous Australian cultures have long revered the eucalyptus tree for its medicinal properties, utilising its leaves to make infusions and poultices to treat various ailments. However, it wasn't until the 19th century that European settlers began to explore the therapeutic potential of eucalyptus oil on a larger scale. The process of steam distillation was developed to extract the oil from the leaves, leading to the widespread production and commercialisation of Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil. Today, Eucalyptus Radiata oil is valued worldwide for its refreshing aroma and diverse range of health benefits, particularly in aromatherapy and natural medicine practices.

Key Constituents

  • 1,8-cineole
  • α-Terpineol
  • α-Pinene
  • β-Pinene
  • Limonene
  • Globulol
  • Viridiflorol

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.
