A Little About Lemon Eucalyptus

Lemon Eucalyptus is the common name for the beautifully aromatic tree botanically known today as Corymbia citriodora. It has also historically been known as Eucalyptus citriodora, which is why both botanical names may be used when referring to Lemon Eucalyptus.

The essential oil is steam distilled from the wood and leaves of the tree, capturing its naturally distinctive lemon-like aroma.

The lemon-scented eucalyptus is native to Australia and is particularly recognisable for the fresh citrus fragrance released from its leaves.

Traditional Aromatherapy

Lemon Eucalyptus is valued in aromatherapy for its fresh, bright and uplifting aroma. It is commonly enjoyed to:

• Create a fresh and invigorating atmosphere

• Freshen indoor spaces

• Add a bright lemon note to aromatherapy blends

• Complement eucalyptus, citrus and herbal essential oils

• Add a fresh natural fragrance to home-care products

Hidden Valley Blends with Lemon Eucalyptus

Lemon Eucalyptus blends beautifully with Peppermint, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus Blue Gum and Lemon Essential Oil.

Its bright citrus character can add a lovely lift to blends containing deeper, woody or more strongly herbal oils.
