What is Eucalyptus Oil?
Eucalyptus Oil is the pure essential oil steam-distilled from the leaves of Eucalyptus globulus — the Blue Gum tree native to Australia and now cultivated widely in India’s Western Ghats. The oil is rich in 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) — the compound responsible for its signature fresh, slightly minty, camphor-like aroma and its traditional respiratory benefits.

Frequently asked questions
How do I use eucalyptus oil for cold and congestion?
Add 3-4 drops to a bowl of hot (not boiling) water, cover your head with a towel, and inhale the steam for 5-10 minutes. Repeat 2-3 times daily. You can also add 1 drop to a hot shower or diffuser.
Can I apply eucalyptus oil directly on skin?
No — always dilute first. 2 drops per 1 teaspoon carrier oil (coconut, sesame, jojoba). Undiluted essential oil can cause irritation.
Is eucalyptus oil safe for children?
Not for children under 2 years. For older children (2-10), use only very dilute amounts (1 drop per 10 ml carrier oil) under adult supervision. Avoid inhalation near face for small children.
What’s the difference between eucalyptus oil and Nilgiri oil?
Same thing — Nilgiri is the Indian name for eucalyptus, after the Nilgiri hills (literally “Blue Mountains”) where the trees were first planted in India.
Is this pure essential oil or diluted?
100% pure undiluted essential oil. No carrier oil, no fragrance additives. One drop is enough for most applications.
Can eucalyptus oil be ingested?
No — internal use of essential oils is not recommended without medical supervision. Even small amounts ingested can cause serious side effects.
How long does a 100ml bottle last?
Used 2-3 times a week at 3-5 drops per use, one 100ml bottle lasts 8-12 months for a regular user.
