Eucalyptus Smithii has been tagged by some as the 'lightweight' of the Eucalyptus family, as it shares the basic scent, but is considerably lighter, and a bit sweeter. It's also considered safe for toddlers in small dosages.
Despite its more 'gentle' fragrance however, this type of Eucalyptus still packs quite a bit of power. Depending on the application method, it may be used for treating cuts, sores, bronchitis, cold & flu, asthma, sluggish digestion, neuralgia, headaches, rheumatism, sprains, and is often considered the best of the bunch for joint & muscle issues.
It also shares the same energetic properties as Eucalyptus Radiata, and may be used in its place if desired.
Contraindications: Toxic internally, do not ingest.
