Eucalyptus leaf oil
(Eucalyptus radiata)
Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil is often used in massage to ease muscles. Its distinctly fresh aroma is sharp and clean, sparking a sense of refreshment and renewal.
Most Young Living Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil comes from Australia and South Africa.
There are more than 700 species of eucalyptus in the world—Eucalyptus Radiata, sometimes known as narrow-leaved peppermint—is only one of them. The Eucalyptus radiata tree comes from Australia, where eucalyptus makes up more than 75 percent of the continent’s vegetation. Eucalyptus Radiata oil contains the naturally occurring constituent eucalyptol, which provides much of its signature scent.

Thank you for joining me in digging deeper into Eucalyptus Radiata.
On a personal note, we use this oil by rubbing it on chests (or backs for a less intense experience) when we’re all snuffly. Give it a shot next time you’re in need of some extra nasal support.
