Eucalyptus polybractea ct. cryptone
12-25€ / 10ml

Eucalyptus cryptone is an Australian tree that remains under the radar with the general public, but aromatherapists know it well. It is THE specialist for urinary and prostate infections in aromatherapy -- a field where few essential oils are truly effective. Unlike eucalyptus radiata (respiratory) or lemon eucalyptus (anti-inflammatory), the cryptone chemotype possesses unique molecules that target the urogenital sphere.
Cryptone (30-45%) is a rare ketone that gives this eucalyptus its unique properties: prostate mucolytic, powerful antiviral and urinary tract drainer. No other eucalyptus has this profile. But cryptone is also neurotoxic -- making it an essential oil reserved for adults, in short courses, ideally under professional advice.
