About this product
Midwinter, gray at the window, and a diffuser releasing something that smells like lemonade. Lemon ironbark is as sweet as candy: some think of lemonade, others of lemon jelly beans. It is a sunshiny scent for the dark months.
Unlike the eucalyptus oils chosen for their 1,8-cineole, Eucalyptus staigeriana is built of geranial, methyl geranate, geranyl acetate, limonene, phellandrene, neral, terpinolene and geraniol, roughly 30% aldehydes in all. Len and Shirley Price noted that of the whole eucalyptus family, staigeriana seems to have the most uplifting effect on the emotions. It is steam-distilled from organically produced leaves in Australia, and is sometimes called Australian melissa.
Details
- Botanical name: Eucalyptus staigeriana
- Origin: Australia, organically produced
- Method: steam-distilled from the leaves
- Blends with: cedarwood, lemon, lavender, marjoram, pine, rosemary and thyme
- Shelf life: about 2 to 3 years after opening
How to use
The diffuser suits it best. Add a little to a blend that smells too medicinal and bring in a touch of aromatic sunshine. It contains citral, a strong sensitizer: avoid broken skin, avoid use during pregnancy, and on skin use a very low dilution, never above 3%. Store it in the dark, refrigerated if you can, and decant half-full bottles into smaller, full ones.
A little bottled summer for the shortest days of the year.
