    • Hi Janie, Thank you for your question. Eucalyptus Dives was retired in 2011. Young Living has carefully reviewed redundancies in the oil line and decided that eucalyptus blue provides the enhanced health-promoting benefits.

  • What is the botanical name of eucalyptus blue? If it's not globulus or radiata, then what variety of eucalyptus plant does the oil come from?

    • Hi Hope, Great question! The botanical name of Eucalyptus Blue is Eucalyptus bicostata. Thanks for stopping by!

    • Hi Dawn, Eucalytpus Radiata has been temporarily removed from our product listing because it may be out of stock for an extended period of time due to supply constraints.

  • Did Eucalyptus Globulus recently change its uses? I have a book that states it can be used for dietery, so I ordered a bottle and it states Topical and Aromatic. I also had customers looking for eucalyptus that can be ingested. Any help would be great!

    • Hi Crystal, Great question! Young Living has recently made some changes to the instruction panel on our essential oil labels. These changes align our labels with FDA regulations that state a product cannot be labeled for use as a Dietary supplement AND for Topical or Aromatic use. In compliance with these regulations, our essential oils will display labels that will distinguish the products intended as a Dietary supplement and those intended to be used for Topical application or Aromatic use. This new labeling does not reflect any changes to the constituents or benefits of our essential oils. Eucalyptus Globulus is currently labeled for Topical application and Aromatic use. In the event a Young Living product is used in a manner not consistent with labeling, you should always use your best judgment and consult your health care professional if you have any concerns. We hope this information is helpful!

      • Beautiful answer!!! This helps so much with how WE discuss the difference between vitality and topical/aromatic.

  • My husband inhales Eucalyptus Globulus Essential Oil when he gets in bed every night. He then rubs his feet. As a result, I get six hours of peaceful sleep! Thanks, Eucalyptus Globulus! :-)

  • It's frustrating when ordering they don't back order. Does that mean I need to go every day to see if it is in stock? Thanks.

    • Hi Diane, You may find the information on the Out of Stock list in the Virtual Office useful in determining when an item may become available. We appreciate your patience!

  • I especially love diffusing RC...which has all 3 Eucalyptus oil species Young Living offers in it!
    Not only am I feeding my body healthy molecules, but I love how clean the air smells!!
