  • What eucalyptus oil would be close to lemon eucalyptus or which one could i use with the lemon oil? Or would it be best to use the citronella with one of them? Trying to not use deet and it says lemon eucalyptus is just as effective for mosquitoes.

      • To actually answer Jenni's question: Lemon eucalyptus is its own tree (i.e. it does not mean lemon plus eucalyptus). Another term for this tree is "Eucalyptus citriodora," which Young Living does not sell.

    • Hey Danielle,

      The eucalyptus you're most likely looking for is Eucalyptus Blue, but there are hundreds of different species that florists use, so it all depends on the arrangement! We think Eucalyptus Globulus, Radiata, and Blue would all make a wonderful addition to any floral arrangement. Thanks for stopping by!

    • Hi Rita, At this time we do not have an estimated date for when Eucalyptus Radiata will be available. We recommend checking the Out of Stock list located in your Virtual Office for any updates. Thanks for stopping by with your question!

  • Hi Young Living...thank you for all of your hard work in providing the best quality oils. Question: I know RC has Eucalyptus citriodora in it...wI'll it ever be a single oil available?

    • Hi Jessica, thanks for your question! At this time we do not have specific information about if this product will be offered as a single oil. We appreciate your interest in this product!

  • My mother has COPD so I'm thinking the Eucalyptus Globulus would be great for her respiration! Would that be the right option??? Any other essential oil I should consider??? How should she apply/use...??? I'm new to oils!

  • Is eucalptus riadata suitable for infant below 1 yr old ? Just difussin? Very diluted application on soles - is it ok?

    • Hello Grace, Eucalyptus essential oils can be challenging to a baby's sensitive system so some individuals choose to use extra caution with these oils or blends containing them.

  • Hi, my question is : My dad has an allergy to the Eucalyptus plant and whenever the greens are added to a floral arrangement he can't be around him. Are the oils different from the plant and would he be likely to have an allergic reaction to the oils? Thanks!

    • Hi Heather, As your dad is allergic to the Eucalyptus plant it is possible that he could be sensitive to Eucalyptus oil. We recommend that he speak with a health care professional prior to using Eucalyptus oil.

  • I was reading through some of the above responses and is it my understanding that you can no longer have the same oil that's used for all 3, aromatic, topical & internal in the same bottle? You are now required to have a separate bottle of Eucalyptus specifically for internal use in a separate bottle even though it's the same oil as the other bottle indicated for aromatic & internal?

    • Great questions, Carrie! Although the same high quality essential oil constituents are in both the topical/aromatic products and the dietary Vitality products, the new Vitality line is intended to allow members to differentiate between those oils for dietary use and those for topical/aromatic use. Always refer to the product labels for proper usage instructions. Thanks for stopping by with your questions!
