Eucalyptus smithii
4-8€ / 10ml
Eucalyptus smithii is native to Australia and cultivated in South Africa. It bears the name of botanist James Edward Smith. It is the gentlest of all eucalyptus species, making it suitable for children and sensitive individuals. In South Africa, it is planted as hedges and used in traditional medicine for chills.
Eucalyptus smithii is the 'family' eucalyptus. With the same 1,8-cineole as radiata and globulus, but accompanied by molecules that attenuate the irritating effect, it is the best tolerated of the three. It is the first choice for children over one year and elderly people.

Yes, it is the gentlest of the 'medicinal' eucalyptuses. Its 1,8-cineole content is moderate (60-70%) with less irritating compounds than globulus. It is the eucalyptus recommended for the elderly and sensitive individuals.
It is the most child-friendly eucalyptus after radiata. Usable from age 3 in diluted application. For very young children, prefer radiata. Smithii is a good compromise between effectiveness and gentleness.
Globulus = the most powerful (adults only). Radiata = the most balanced (whole family). Smithii = the gentlest (elderly, sensitive). Lemon eucalyptus = anti-inflammatory and repellent (not respiratory). Each has its niche.
