The lemon eucalyptus from the myrtle family is native to Australia, Brazil, China and Madagascar. It has antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. In skin care, it is well suited for the treatment of acne, dandruff and sore skin. Its essential oil keeps insects away and triggers coughing and mucus, alleviating the symptoms of respiratory diseases.
In aromatherapy, lemon eucalyptus is considered to be stimulating, refreshing and improving concentration and as harmonizing. It helps against listlessness and brings harmony and serenity.
