Eucalyptus globulus

Eucalyptus Globulus

Species: Eucalyptus globulus

Plant part used: Leaves and seeds

Origin: Wild-harvested

Processing: Steam-distillation

Main compounds: 1,8-cineol > 50%

Chemotype: N/A

Origin: Wild harvest 

Olfactory experience: Fresh, herbaceous, cineolic.

Curiosities: Eucalyptus globulus main use is in pharmaceutical preparations, flavoring of cough drops, vaporizers, mouth-gargles, toothpaste, etc., as well as a rubefacient and general germicide. In perfumery, the oil enters numerous formulas for perfumes, industrial perfumes, in the masking of various olfactive experiences, between others. It is comparatively stable in soap and it has a powerful radiation or “lifting” effect upon the other ingredients in the soap perfume.

Scientific evidence

Effect Route used in the experiment Source
Antibacterial activity Broth dilution test – Results demonstrated of the leaf essential oils of the two species showed an excellent inhibitory effect on S. aureus than

that of E. coli.

 [2]
Antiviral and antibacterial activity against respitatory problems causing agents Various methods – antibacterial activity was gained at concentrations higher than those not cytotoxic: therefore, it is difficult to discriminate a specific antimicrobic

action from toxic activity

 [3]
