Le Comptoir Aroma Huile Essentielle Eucalyptus Citronné Bio 10ml is an oil used as antifungal, anti-inflammatory and also to treat rheumatism.
Lemon eucalyptus is a large tree, about 50 meters tall. Its leaves give off a lemony scent when crumpled. The leaves are rounded when young, becoming lanceolate with age. Lemon Eucalyptus is grown mainly in Australia, India, Vietnam, China and Madagascar.
Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil is renowned for its remarkable anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic properties, essentially attributed to its high concentration of citronellal. This molecule acts effectively by inhibiting the enzymes responsible for synthesizing prostaglandins, the chemical mediators involved in inflammatory processes. This action leads to a noticeable reduction in the sensation of heat and redness, and a significant easing of the pain associated with inflammatory and rheumatic conditions. What's more, its prolonged anti-inflammatory effect makes it a preferred choice for those suffering from chronic rheumatic conditions.
With a notable concentration of citronellol and citronellal, Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil acts as a powerful insect repellent. These compounds act by disrupting the olfactory system of insects, preventing them from locating their sources of food and reproduction. The result is an effective repellent action against a wide variety of insect pests such as moths, flies, ants, wasps, mosquitoes and ticks. It also provides soothing relief from insect bites, thanks to its calming properties that help reduce itching and skin irritation.
Eucalyptus Citronné essential oil has powerful antifungal properties, particularly against pathogens such as Candida albicans and various dermatophytes responsible for skin and nail infections. Its active ingredients, notably citronellal and citronellol, work by disrupting the structure of the fungi's cell membrane, resulting in their destruction or inability to grow. This antifungal action makes it an invaluable ally in the treatment of fungal skin infections and nail disorders.
Thanks to its analgesic properties, Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil provides effective relief from skin and joint pain. Its main component, citronellal, blocks pain receptors in skin, muscle and joint tissue, reducing the transmission of pain signals to the brain. This action effectively alleviates the pain associated with sprains, bruises, muscle aches and rheumatic disorders, improving comfort and mobility for those affected.
The citronellal contained in Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil exerts a notable action on central nervous system neurotransmitters, conferring calming, sedative and hypotensive properties. This molecule also promotes vasodilatation by relaxing the smooth muscles of blood vessels, helping to lower blood pressure. These combined effects make it a wise choice for relieving stress, anxiety and high blood pressure, while promoting a state of relaxation.
Studies have confirmed the efficacy of Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. It also has an airborne antiseptic action, making it a valuable agent for purifying the air and preventing respiratory infections. This ability to combat pathogens makes it an essential element in maintaining a healthy, hygienic environment, particularly in enclosed spaces or those at risk of bacterial contamination.
