Eucalyptus radiata
from theMyrtaceae family.
Eucalyptus Radiata also has
a highly penetrating aroma
although it is softer than the
Eucalyptus
globulus owing to the
lower Cineol content.
It is a good choice for
aromatherapy as it has all
the usual decongestant
properties associated with
Eucalyptus but is more
easily assimilated and less
likely to irritate the skin. The
oil, which is pale yellow in
colour, may be produced by
distillation of either young or
old leaves.
