Plant description

Eucalyptus Radiata is a tree of the Myrtaceae family that grows to about 25-30 meters. It features slender, greenish-gray to blue-green leaves, along with lanceolate, alternate young branches. During the spring and summer months, it produces white flowers measuring 1-2 cm in size, and its fruit takes on a pear- or egg-shaped appearance. Eucalyptus buds are notably well-sheltered, which is believed to be the etymological origin of the Greek words “eu-” meaning “well” and “kalyptós” meaning “covered,” forming “well-covered.” Eucalyptus trees are characterized by their deep roots and rapid growth, making them highly robust and resilient. While native to Australia, they are now cultivated globally due to their adaptability and ease of growth.

Eucalyptus Radiata Essential Oil Properties & Uses

About 2.3 to 3% of Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil is obtained by steam distillation from the leaves and stems, and is colorless or light yellow in color. Its primary constituent is 1,8-cineole, also known as "eucalyptol," which imparts a refreshing, cool, and throat lozenge-like aroma.It is popular for its refreshing, slightly sweet, and clear characteristics. It harmonizes well with a wide range of essential oils, particularly those with citrus and woody profiles. Additionally, combining it with herbal essential oils featuring deep green notes, such as Laurel and Cedarwood, is recommended. To bring out the distinctive character of Eucalyptus Radiata, it's advisable to avoid pairing it with excessively invigorating oils. Despite its neutral strength, it's recommended add in amounts that maintain a well-balanced blend.
