Lemon Eucalyptus Citriodora Essential Oil

Our organically crafted Eucalyptus Citriodora Essential Oil, also called Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil is steam distilled from the fragrant grey-green leaves of the Eucalyptus citriodora tree growing wild in the Australian landscape. Our light and refreshing Lemon-Scented Eucalyptus Oil has a fresh, lemony, camphor-like aroma with sweet citronella notes that benefit the respiratory tract and immune system.

Eucalyptus Citriodora Essential Oil has soft, lemony aldehydes as its constituents - distinctly different molecules from Limonene, the tart, citrus-sourced terpene. These aldehydes have another important attribute: that of addressing physical discomfort and inflammation after sports or physical over-exertion, making the essential oil a wonderful addition for massage treatments.

REPORTED BENEFITS AND USES
