Eucalyptus Essential Oils Basics
The majority of Eucalyptus oils come from Australia, where it is extracted from evergreen Eucalyptus trees that grow there. However, Eucalyptus is also sparsely found in other parts of the world such as Asia and Africa.
Going back to Australia, it's widely believed that the Aborigines here are the first ones to have discovered and used Eucalyptus essential oils. The Aborigines used these oils to cure everything from breathing problems to muscle pains. Interestingly enough, Eucalyptus oils are still used for many of the same things today!
One more thing worth mentioning about Eucalyptus essential oils is that they are a top note, meaning they work fast so you get the benefits right away; however, top notes also fade away quicker than middle and bases notes, so you won't have long to soak up the benefits of Eucalyptus.
