Importance of Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia, but now they can be found all over the world. This tree has been incredibly well known over the centuries in medicine for its healing properties. The eucalyptus’ oval-shaped leaves have the ability disinfect wounds, freshen your breath and soothe cold sores. With sweet, woodsy scent, eucalyptus has become increasingly popular in cosmetics, including creams, ointments, hair care products and body washes.
                    
But now, eucalyptus is making an even bigger name for itself in the world of essential oils. To turn eucalyptus into an essential oil, its leaves are dried, crushed, and distilled to release its essence, meaning it is an entirely cruelty-free essential oil, and because eucalyptus oil comes directly from the plant itself, it is also classified as a sulfate free essential oil. But what is the importance of eucalyptus in its essential oil form, and why should you use it?
