Eucalyptus is native to Australia, where different species have been used by Aboriginal communities for generations in practical materials and traditional plant preparations. Its leaves are naturally filled with aromatic oil, and Eucalyptus globulus later became one of the world’s major sources of eucalyptus oil.
That strong, refreshing scent is part of what made eucalyptus so useful far beyond its place of origin. In our own rituals, we pair it with Thai herbs and oils to bring a fresh, clean character to bathing, massage, cleansing and traditional herbal compression.
