This eucalyptus is grown organically in Andalusia at an elevation of 500-800 metres in southern Spain. This vast landscape has an ideal stimulating climate, with cold nights, very hot and dry days and Mediterranean winds. Seasonal temperature fluctuations result in a very concentrated and rich development of valuable ingredients and aromas such as monoterpenes (1,8-cineole) and sesquiterpenes. The fresh, aromatic plants are harvested throughout the year and gently distilled directly on the farm.
The manufacturer of our high-quality essential oil has been producing its own essential oils since 1970 in the region of Murcia on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. The essential oils, which are either cold pressed or gently steam distilled in a stainless steel tank, are derived from wildcrafted and certified organic plants or from the company's own controlled organic cultivation. The farmers and distillers plant, harvest and produce their essential oils according to ISO standards, an expertise which is reflected in their harmonious aromas. All of their products are certified organic to EU standards.
The eucalyptus belongs to the myrtle family (Myrtaceae). Originally from Australia, eucalyptus is now native to many tropical and subtropical regions of the world, including Mediterranean southern Europe. Eucalyptus globulus grows sprawling with smooth bark that peels off in bands. Old trees have narrow lanceolate to sickle-shaped hanging medium to deep green leaves, which grow up to 30cm long. It produces individual white to cream-coloured flowers from spring to summer.
The subtle fragrance, which is both warming and refreshing, clears the air in the room, facilitates deep breathing and has a strong expectorant effect. The characteristic camphor note has a cleansing effect and clears the head.
