HISTORY INFORMATION: Eucalyptus trees were discovered by explorers in the late 1700's. Cineole type of Blue Mallee is the main cineole producing tree in Australia and not the Blue Gum.

GENERAL INFORMATION: This oil is also known as Blue Eucalyptus type cryptone which is a ketone. This oil can have up to 40% cryptone. Blue Mallee type cineol can have up to 90% cineol. This oil is mainly considered an expectorant. It is the cineol, or as it was once called eucalyptol, that gives eucalyptus oil its traditional scent. There are at least 700 different species of eucalyptus. Leaves and branches are harvested as much as twice a year. One acre of eucalyptus trees can yield 35 thousand pounds of distilling material. Of this, 2% becomes oil, which means just one acre can yield up to 350 kilos of oil yearly.
