Product Description
All essential oils have their claim to fame, but Eucalyptus Blue Mallee Essential Oil seems to have too many to count, especially considering that there are more than 300 species of Eucalyptus! Australian Natives throughout history considered the Eucalyptus tree to be a “cure-all”, and it’s been used in everything from paper to malaria medication. However, the oil itself wasn’t distilled until 1788, when two doctors opted to use the oil to fight chest problems. It didn’t take long for the 18th century medical community to realise the power of Eucalyptus oil, and soon it was prescribed for all respiratory conditions like asthma, bronchitis, coughs, and the flu.
The Eucalyptus tree is a small multi-trunked tree that grows naturally in New South Wales and Victoria, Australia. They actually belong to the same family, Myrtacae, as the Tea Tree, and have extensive root systems that act as reservoirs for moisture and nutrients. Blue Mallee Eucalyptus oil is extracted using steam distillation of the leaves and green branches, which produces a clear oil with the distinctive Eucalyptus aroma and spicy undertones.
Pure Eucalyptus Blue Mallee essential oil is well-loved for its properties that range from antibacterial and anti-inflammation to anti-infectious and expectorant. It’s important to note that this oil is not safe for young children due to its strong chemical constituents.
Emotionally, Eucalyptus Blue Mallee oil can stimulate mental activity and increase blood flow to the brain because its aroma is so cool and refreshing. Many people enjoy diffusing it to eliminate exhaustion and rejuvenate the spirits.
Physically, this essential oil is best utilised to combat upper respiratory infections, stimulate the immune system, and relieve pain. For cold or flu symptoms, inhaling Eucalyptus oil can kill bacteria in the respiratory tract and open up airways for easier breathing. Blended with one drop each of Lemon, Peppermint, and Rosemary, your winter respiratory woes don’t stand a chance.
Furthermore, this oil boosts the immune system when inhaled as well by allowing the body’s white blood cells to absorb necessary nutrients. A Eucalyptus blend with Cinnamon Leaf and Clove essential oil can help the immune system function at its highest level. Eucalyptus Blue Mallee is also renowned for its ability to fight inflammation and relieve pain, which is why it’s included in muscle rubs and liniments.
