1. Eucalyptus oil

3. What Is Eucalyptus Oil?
• Eucalyptus oil is the distilled oil that comes
from the dried leaves of eucalyptus
• – a colorless liquid with a strong woody and
sweet smell. There are more than 700
different species of eucalyptus in the world, of
which at least 500 produce a type of essential
oil.

4. • Eucalyptus polybractea –oil is high in cineole (a colorless, liquid
terpene ether with a camphor-like odor and is found in essential
oils) and usually assays between 80 and 88 percent.
• Eucalyptus globulus – This is the species that has received the most
attention from botanists and chemists, and its oil is best known and
most used of all eucalyptus oils. It's cineole is between 60 and 70
percent..
• Eucalyptus radiata – Commonly known as "narrow-leaved
peppermint," this is a medium-sized tree with fibrous bark. The
crude oil has a cineole content of 65 to 70 percent and has a very
refreshing aroma.
• Eucalyptus citriodora – Referred to as the "lemon-scented gum,”
• Myrtaceae

7. Chemical composition
• Eucalyptus oils are made up of more than 100 different
compounds.
• Its main chemical components are a-pinene, b-pinene, a-
phellandrene, 1,8-cineole, limonene, terpinen-4-ol,
aromadendrene, epiglobulol, piperitone and globulol.8
• Crude eucalyptus oil sometimes contains more compounds
in different quantities than after double distillation.
• For example, eucalyptus globulus oil has 60 percent cineole
and 40 percent other compounds, which becomes 80
percent cineole and only 20 percent other compounds after
being double-distilled. As a result, crude oil may have a
broader range of activities than the refined oil.

14. Benefits of Eucalyptus Oil
Antibacterial properties – A study published in Clinical Microbiology and
Infection found that eucalyptus oil may have antibacterial action on
pathogenic bacteria in the upper respiratory tract.
Pain relief – Research indicates the analgesic properties of this essential
oil. A study in the American Journal of Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation applied Eucalypta mint on the anterior forearm skin of 10
subjects, and found that Eucalypta mint "produced significant physiologic
responses that may be beneficial for pain relief and/or useful to athletes
as a passive form of warm-up."
Dental health – This oil exhibits antibacterial activity against cariogenic
(tooth decay-causing) and periodontopathic bacteria.
Stimulating immune system response – According to a study published
in BMC Immunology, eucalyptus oil extract is said to implement the
innate cell-mediated immune response.
One very important reason why many individuals use eucalyptus oil is its
ability to address mental exhaustion through creating a cooling and
refreshing effect. As a stimulant, it helps eradicate exhaustion and mental
sluggishness, and rejuvenates "the spirits of the sick."

head and inhale deeply for five–10 minutes.

using eucalyptus was effective at treating
sinusitis. Patients experienced faster
improvement when supplementing with
eucalyptus oil for allergies and sinus issues.
The study had participants take eucalyptus oil
internally, and it’s also recommended to
gargle with it to clear the throat.

• Not only does eucalyptus give a nice, fresh
fragrance to your home products, but it adds
