Eucalyptus Essential Oil (Eucalyptus globulus)
Overview
Eucalyptus may also be referred to as Bluegum eucalyptus, Tasmanian bluegum, Southern blue gum, Blue gum. It is typically processed using steam or hydro distillation as a method for extracting oil from the leaves.
Summary
Several different species of Eucalyptus Essential Oils exist. Eucalyptus globulusis the most commonly available. To differentiate the different Eucalyptus oils available, they typically go by their full botanical name. However, Eucalyptus globulus Essential Oil sometimes goes by the name Blue Gum.

Cautions when using Eucalyptus:
Don't use eucalyptus oil if you have hypertension (high blood pressure).
Safety Precautions for Eucalyptus:
Do not take any oils internally and do not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes, CO2s or other concentrated essences onto the skin without advanced essential oil knowledge or consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage, have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Use extreme caution when using oils with children and be sure to first read the recommended dilution ratios for children. Consult a qualified aromatherapy practitioner before using oils with children, the elderly, if you have medical issues or are taking medications. For in-depth information on oil safety issues, read Essential Oil Safety by Robert Tisserand and Rodney Young.
