Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil is derived from a lemon scented blue gum eucalypti plant, a tall tree with smooth bark. Native to northern Australia, the oil is known for its refreshing aroma that helps create an invigorating environment. Lemon Eucalyptus can be used to clear and refresh the air so keep it on hand when in need of a revitalising boost.
Lemon Eucalyptus oil has a refreshing scent that is ideal for creating an uplifting and invigorating atmosphere. To take advantage of this, diffuse Lemon Eucalyptus on its own or with other oils you enjoy.
Citronellal and Citronellol are the main chemical constituents in Lemon Eucalyptus, which provide the oil with cleansing properties. Put several drops in a spray bottle with water to use on surfaces. For extra power, add a few drops of your favourite citrus oil to the spray bottle as well.
You can also put the cleansing power of Lemon Eucalyptus to work for your skin. Add a drop to your facial cleanser or moisturiser. If you have never used Lemon Eucalyptus topically before, be sure to dilute the oil. Diluting with a carrier oil like Fractionated Coconut Oil will minimise any skin sensitivity.
Did you know that Lemon eucalyptus leaves possess powerful antibacterial and fungicidal properties.
