Alqvimia Eucalyptus Essential Oil
The eucalyptus is an evergreen tree that can reach up to 100 meters in height, making it one of the tallest trees in the world. It is native to Australia and Tasmania but today it can be found on all continents. Currently, China is the largest producer of Essential Oil, although there are other countries such as Australia and Spain that also produce good quality Essential Oil.
Eucalyptus was first used medicinally by Aboriginal Australians who used it to treat infections and fevers. The French naturalist De Labillardiere called it "the fever tree" and used it to treat fevers caused by malaria.
Among its properties and benefits are:
At Cosmetic Level: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and calming. Protects from oxidative stress.
At Therapeutic Level: expectorant and refreshing for the respiratory tract. Anti-inflammatory at joint level or in cases of pain due to inflammation.
At the psychological level: favors lucidity, helps communication and decision making.
Together with pine, mint and rosemary, it is one of the four essential oils with a balsamic effect to take into account when preparing a body oil to apply to the chest area.
Mode of use
There are different ways to apply and use Essential Oils and Essential Oil Preparations:
SKIN APPLICATION:
- face use: we recommend a ratio of 99% Carrier Oil plus 1% Essential Oil. This translates into 2 drops of Essential Oil for every 10 ml. of Carrier Oil.
- Body use: we recommend a proportion of 97% Carrier Oil plus 3% Essential Oil, which means 6 drops of Essential Oil per 10 ml. of Carrier Oil.
APPLICATION MODE:
- Diffuser: the use of diffusers without heat such as the ALQVIMIA Flask is recommended, since heat modifies the properties of essential oils. Use a maximum of 10 drops of Essential Oil Preparation in the diffuser.
- Bath: dilute a maximum of 10-15 drops of Essential Oil Preparation in a small amount of milk (vegetable or animal), yogurt, honey, salt or Bath Gel. This is because essential oils are not soluble in water and need a vehicle to dissolve in the bath.
- Vapor Inhalation: apply a maximum of 5 drops of the Essential Oil Preparation on a pan of hot water with approximately 1-2 liters of water, and inhale, covering the head and pan with a towel, to maintain the steam for longer.
- Sauna: dilute a maximum of 2 drops of the Essential Oil Preparation for every 500ml used in the sauna.
- Air freshener spray: the use of Alqvimia Anti-Stress Cologne Water is recommended.
