Latin Name: Eucalyptus radiata

Description: The aroma of Eucalyptus *True is sweet, fresh, sharp, and strong in its camphor notes with subtle floral or honey-like undertones. While some of the other varieties of eucalyptus are more dry, medicinal, or herbal, this variety has a sweetness to it that feels calming and joyful. Its actions are strong and penetrating. This variety is useful for children with congestion or allergies, as it is gentle like the *dives variety, but sharper in action for a more chronic or stubborn condition. This would be a great choice for the common cold or flu, for sinus headaches or fatigue due to overwhelm or overstimulation. When emotional overwhelm causes the breath to feel stuck or the chest tight, Eucalyptus *True can be a useful remedy for opening the channels and releasing grief from the lungs. The eucalyptus family in general supports the lungs and immune system, and they all contain anti-bacterial, anti-septic, anti-viral, analgesic and mucous clearing qualities. They cultivate optimism, freedom, possibility and mental clarity.
