This variation of Eucalyptus happens to be a favorite to many of us here at The Apothecary. It has that distinct, Eucalyptus-type fragrance that many have come to known, but with beautiful notes of honey and sweet sap flowing through it as well.
Eucalyptus Radiata is one of the key 'breathing' oils, particularly useful for upper respiratory complaints (congestion, coughing, sinus infections, etc.), and serves well as an immune stimulant. It has also proven itself quite useful for treating headaches, muscular and arthritic aches & pains, inflammations, minor injuries, and even some types of bacterial infections.
This oil serves well as a mental stimulant, making it an excellent choice for combating exhaustion. Energy workers/healers will find this oil useful for dissolving energetic blocks and inspiring others while promoting confidence from within. It reminds us to breath when we feel suffocated by responsibilities, and aids in the release of deep grief that can be held in our emotional, mental, etheric and physical bodies. It may also be used in place of Sage to rid a room of ill, negative, and/or conflicting energies.
Contraindications: Toxic internally, do not ingest.
