  • I am curious which of the 3 oils you would recommend for children. Are they all safe for young kids or is there one that is not as strong?

  • I am ADDICTED to Eucalyptus Radiata!! I have not tried the other two Eucalyptus oils though. Gotta add those to my future shopping list. :D

  • Which of the three eucalyptus oils smells the most like Vicks? I also would like to get the most potent smelling eucalyptus oil that I can get. I just love the smell.

    Thank you.

  • I was inspired by this post to try Eucalyptus Globulus in my diffuser. I created a mixture of Eucalyptus Globulus, Copaiba and Lavender for a great relaxing work environment! Thanks for the inspiration!

  • I love the Eucalyptus Globulus. I use it often blended with many of my other oils in my massages!

  • Aside from the smell, I would love to know more about any differences in their applications and benefits along with their frequency differences. :-)

    • Hi Anna! Eucalyptus Blue, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Eucalyptus Globulus are different species of the plant from different geographical locations of harvest. Although very similar in composition, they do contain one or two different constituents. Eucalyptus Blue is grown and distilled on Young Living's farm in Ecuador. It is an oil that is high in eucalyptol, which is calming and invigorating when diffused. Eucalyptus globulus has an earthy, fresh aroma and has been used in many oral-care products for its cleansing properties. Eucalyptus radiata is a key ingredient in Young Living's Thieves oil blend due to its wide range of beneficial properties. This oil contains citral, a constituent known for its cleansing abilities. Hope this helps!

  • I wouldn't use anyone but Young Living because of their seed to seal!!! It is the best therapeutic grade and best smelling oils in the world!!! They have helped me so much!😊

  • After reading this post I wanted to try diffusing Eucalyptus Radiata and Lavender together in my family room while I worked. It was wonderfully fresh and I got so much work done while breathing! Love it!
