 Eucalyptus oil comes from the eucalyptus tree, a beautiful, tall evergreen that can grow up to 90 metres high (270 ft). The young trees have oval bluish-green leaves while the mature trees develop long, narrow, yellowish leaves, creamy-white flowers and a smooth, pale grey bark. Eucalyptus essential oil helps to balance emotions and reduce tensions. It makes a great air freshener and helps eliminate the toxins in the air, and serves to combat the effects of colds and the flu. Also available: Eucalyptus Radiata.
