Plant Therapy Organic Eucalyptus Globulus Essential Oil 30 mL (1 oz)

A single-species eucalyptus oil for the classic fresh sauna note, a few drops at a time.

Eucalyptus is the scent most people think of first when they picture a scented sauna: fresh, green and a little sharp. This Plant Therapy oil is a single ingredient, and the label says which eucalyptus it is – Eucalyptus globulus, steam distilled from organically grown leaves and certified USDA Organic. The maker describes the aroma as fresh and herbaceous with soft woody undertones.

The listing names sauna as one of its uses but stops there, so the method is general practice: heavy dilution in water, never neat oil on a heater. Essential oils are concentrated and flammable – the bottle stays outside the hot room, capped, and out of reach of children and pets.

Tip: Count the drops over the bucket outside the hot room, not over the heater – two or three in a full bucket is a normal start, and the next round is the time to add one more.
