Eucalyptus Kochii Essential Oil

EUCALYPTUS KOCHII ESSENTIAL OIL

Open a bottle of Kochii Eucalyptus Essential Oil (pronounced ko-chee-eye) and you’ll instantly feel like you’re in the heart of the Australian bushland.

One of hundreds of Eucalyptus types originating in Australia, the crisp-scented Kochii variety has been used medicinally by Indigenous Australians for several millennia, with the plant serving as a tonic for gastro-intestinal issues; nowadays, its leaves are steam distilled to produce a fresh and slightly woody-smelling oil that is said to relax the mind and stimulate the senses – not to mention relief from a host of health issues.

This Eucalypt is particularly effective as an essential oil due to its rich content of Cineole, a natural terpene that can help fight colds, calm inflammation, heal wounds, and enrich the skin. Used by aromatherapists and as a natural fragrance in cosmetics, personal care and household cleaning products, AWO’s Kochii Eucalyptus Oil is ready to refresh your mind and body.

• Rich in 1,8-Cineole and containing a host of other terpenes, Eucalyptus Oil is abundant in therapeutic and healing properties.
