What is Dr Valnet Lemon eucalyptus organic essential oil used for?
Lemon eucalyptus essential oil has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It is antirheumatic, locally analgesic and antispasmodic. It is anti-infectious, antiviral and antifungal. This oil is also hypotensive, mosquito repellent, acaricide and antitumor.
Native to Australia, lemon eucalyptus (myrtaceae family) has been transplanted to many other regions, including Madagascar and Vietnam. It has a whitish trunk, brown bark that peels off as it curls, and lanceolate leaves that smell of lemon when crumpled.
Dr Valnet's Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil stands out for its remarkable anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Mainly thanks to its citronellal content, it reduces inflammation mediators, inhibits PGE2 prostaglandins and exerts a notable antioxidant action. Its analgesic effect, when applied locally, is probably due to interaction with muscarinic and opioid system receptors, as well as the arginine/NO/GMPc pathway. This combination of actions makes the oil particularly effective in relieving inflammatory pain and inflammatory reactions in the body.
Lemon eucalyptus essential oil is also recognized for its insecticidal qualities. It is effective against the larvae of mosquitoes that carry dengue fever, and against dust mites. In veterinary medicine, it is used for its repellent properties, particularly against ticks, often in synergy with Lavandula angustifolia (lavender) and Pelargonium graveolens (geranium) essential oils.
This essential oil has antiviral properties, notably through its inhibitory action on the expression and activation of the ACE-2 receptor in epithelial cells. Its antifungal efficacy is comparable to that of miconazole, a well-known antifungal agent. In addition, it is active against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, responsible for many nosocomial diseases. It also has antibacterial activity against multi-resistant germs, making it a valuable tool in modern phytotherapy.
As a muscle antispasmodic, Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil effectively relieves muscle cramps and contractures. It also acts as a muscle relaxant, regulating the central nervous system. Its sedative, calming, relaxing and anti-hypertensive properties make it ideal for managing stress and nervous tension. Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil also has pancreatic-regulating, antirheumatic and hypotensive properties, reinforcing its profile as a versatile natural remedy.
