Eucalyptus Radiata Essential OilLike most species of Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Radiata is native to Australia. A very large flowering tree in the myrtle family, Eucalyptus Radiata produces fragrant leaves and is also known informally as narrow-leaved peppermint. In 2011, a study at Heidelberg University found that Eucalyptus Radiata has the second largest abundance of 1,8 console (eucalyptus) after Eucalyptus Globulus. It is this constituent that gives Eucalyptus Radiata its camphor's aroma and incredible respiratory support properties.
