In addition, Organic Eucalyptus Radiata Essential Oil also exerts analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits, providing symptomatic relief for many common conditions.
Other applications include the use of Organic Eucalyptus Radiata Essential Oil in insect repellents, and like Organic Tea Tree Essential Oil, it can also be applied to insect bites to soothe them, once properly diluted in a suitable carrier oil.

Susan Carruthers (verified owner) –
I get a wider range of oils from Wild as the Wind and so delighted to get eucalyptus in organic form. My family are now asking for my bath salts of epsom salts liberally dosed with eucalyptus the minute the feel cold symptoms coming on. Nothing better – I add a couple of other oils, lavender and fragonia for meditative effect but I shouldn’t let you into the details of my secret recipe.
Rachel Wild –
Dearest Sarah, thanks so much for letting us into your secrets… I, of course, wholly endorse this, even though you still seem to have a few reservations! 😉 All feedback helps in so many different ways. I’m deeply grateful for your insights, and am amazed, and deeply gladdened, by what you have written about using Myrtle Essential Oil. Thank you so, so much. x x x x
