Need a more mildly scented eucalyptus for an elderly person or for children? Eucalyptus radiata has many of the same therapeutic properties as eucalyptus globulus, but its aroma is fruitier and sweet, reminiscent of citrus.
You can choose the scent you like best with our five varieties of eucalyptus oil. Eucalyptus radiata will please those with a sensitivity to strong fragrances who still want the powerful antiseptic, expectorant, and antibacterial properties of eucalyptus. Add it to cold and flu blends to strengthen the body and fight germs. Or create your own household cleaners that work against bacteria and smell refreshing.
