What is Eucalyptus Oil?

Eucalyptus oil(Eucalyptus globulus) is carefully steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of the eucalyptus tree. This tree originated in Australia but can now be found in several places around the world. There are over 500 varieties of eucalyptus from shrubs to tall trees. Some varieties are more useful as a source for eucalyptus oil.

Its smell has been described as strong and fresh with a cool menthol undertone.
