EUCALYPTUS CITRIODORA

Eucalyptus citriodora, also known as lemon eucalyptus or Corymbia citriodora, is a species of eucalyptus valued for its refreshing, lemon-like scent and a broad range of therapeutic properties. Unlike the more camphoraceous varieties of eucalyptus, lemon eucalyptus contains high levels of citronellal, which gives it distinct actions especially useful for respiratory health, anti-inflammatory support, and natural insect repellent. Energetically it has a strong impact on the health rays and can be purifying, especially for elementals.

Applications: Topical, Body Tonic, Ointment, Massage Oil, Salt Bath, Foot Bath, Neat, Sustained Inhalation, Diffuser, Thera-lotion, Thera-soap, Gargle
