Eucalyptus dives
5-12€ / 10ml
Peppermint eucalyptus, or Eucalyptus dives, is the most powerful and dangerous member of the eucalyptus family. Native to southeastern Australian forests, this robust tree can reach 30 meters. Aborigines knew its exceptional mucolytic properties and used it with great caution. Its name 'dives' means 'rich' in Latin, referring to the density of its essential oil-secreting glands.
Peppermint eucalyptus must absolutely be differentiated from other eucalyptus species. Where radiata and globulus mainly contain 1,8-cineole (a well-tolerated oxide), Eucalyptus dives is dominated by piperitone, a neurotoxic and abortifacient monoterpene ketone. This distinction is not an academic detail but a vital safety issue.

Les huiles essentielles suivantes se combinent particuli\u00e8rement bien avec eucalyptus mentholé pour renforcer ou compl\u00e9ter ses effets :
Eucalyptus dives ct. piperitone is rich in piperitone (a menthol-like ketone). It is a powerful mucolytic but neurotoxic. Reserved for adults. It dissolves thick mucus that other eucalyptuses cannot clear.
No, piperitone is a neurotoxic ketone. Contraindicated in pregnant women, children, epileptics and the elderly. For adults only, in short courses, at low doses. Prefer eucalyptus radiata or smithii for safe respiratory support.
Chronic sinusitis with very thick mucus, chronic bronchitis where other eucalyptuses have failed. In steam inhalation (1-2 drops maximum) or very diluted chest rub. Professional guidance recommended.
