Citriodora Essential Oil
Country Of Origin: China Certification: Wild Crafted Classification: Eucalyptus Citriodora Essential Oil Other Names: lemon scented gum essential oil, eucalyptus lemon essential oil Found in Blends: Breath Ease and Heart of Life Interesting Facts: The name Eucalyptus means "well-covered"; it describes the bud cap. An essential oil extracted from eucalyptus leaves contains compounds that are powerful natural disinfectants and which can be toxic in large quantities. Several marsupial herbivores, notably Koalas and some possums, are relatively tolerant of eucalyptus. The close correlation of these oils with other more potent toxins called formulated phloroglucinol compounds allows koalas and other marsupial species to make food choices based on the smell of the leaves. However, it is the formulated phloroglucinol compounds that are the most important factor in choice of leaves by koalas. Eucalyptus trees have a habit of dropping entire branches off as they grow. Eucalyptus forests are littered with dead branches. The Australian Ghost Gum Eucalyptus papuana is also termed the "widow maker", due to the high number of pioneer tree-felling workers who were killed by falling branches. Many deaths were actually caused by simply camping under them, as they shed whole and very large branches to conserve water during periods of drought. For this reason, one should never camp under an overhanging branch. On warm days vaporized eucalyptus oil rises above the bush to create the characteristic distant blue haze of the Australian landscape. Eucalyptus oil is highly flammable (trees have been known to explode) and bush fires can travel easily through the oil-rich air of the tree crowns. The dead bark and fallen branches are also flammable. Eucalypts are well adapted for periodic fires, in fact most species are dependent on them for spread and regeneration, both from reserve buds under the bark, and from fire-germinated seeds sprouting in the ashes.
