Eucalyptus Essential Oil
Pure eucalyptus essential oil delivers a bracing, camphor-fresh aroma in a single concentrated drop. A staple of the aromatherapy shelf, it brings an instant sense of open, breathable air to any room. AyurvedaBay offers steam-distilled eucalyptus oil for diffusing, steam, and blending.
Ways to Enjoy It
- Add a few drops to a diffuser for a clean, invigorating atmosphere.
- Use in a bowl of hot water for a refreshing steam.
- Dilute well in a carrier oil for a warming chest or muscle rub.
Eucalyptus oil is potent: keep it away from young children, never swallow it, and always dilute for the skin. It is an aromatherapy ingredient, not a treatment for any condition. AyurvedaBay ships pure eucalyptus essential oil worldwide.
