Essential Oils
Like all Eucalyptus trees, it is very resistant to external aggression. It is recognisable by its long, greyish-green, hanging leaves, which are prized by koalas and even form a large part of their diet. Its essential oil is well known: fresh and airy, it also has a slightly lemony note.
Quality Botanical family: Myrtaceae Latin name: Eucalyptus smithii Origin: South Africa Cultivation: Controlled organic agriculture - Certisys-BE1 control Part used: Leaf Production process: Steam distillation Quality: 100% pure, natural, integral and chemotyped Olfactory notes: cineolated, fresh Main constituents Terpene oxides: 1.8 cineole (75%) Monoterpenes (15%): alpha-pinene, limonene, para-cymene Monoterpenols: alpha-terpineol Note Do not confuse the essential oils of Eucalyptus radiata, Eucalyptus smithii and Eucalyptus globulus, which have different cineole contents. The mildest of the three is Eucalyptus radiata. Our opinion An essential oil that is not used enough for our taste! Its place is between Eucalyptus radiata, always the "gentlest", and Eucalyptus globulus, sometimes a little too direct. And, associated with Scots Pine, they will form a beautiful duo. Precautions for use Not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under 6 years of age, without medical advice. Contraindicated in patients with epilepsy or a history of seizures. Not recommended for asthmatics (especially for inhalation or diffusion). Cineole essential oils should not be used in asthmatics as a first line of treatment without medical advice. Due to its cineole content, there is a known risk of drug interaction: do not administer orally without medical advice if you are taking medication. Not for oral use in case of heartburn.
