Description
Rainbow Eucalyptus High-Quality Essential Oil
1ml Sample
Eucalyptus deglupta
Extracted from Bark and Dried Leaves from Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea
Extremely Rare
The Rainbow Eucalyptus is stunningly beautiful and wonderfully fragrant, with its coloring entirely natural. As it grows, the bark peels away in patches throughout the year, revealing bright green inner bark. Over time, this inner bark shifts through shades of blue, purple, orange, and finally maroon, creating the tree’s breathtakingly colorful appearance.
The rainbow eucalyptus tree gives off a gentle, woody scent that’s subtly sweet and calming, with hints of fruit in the background. Its fragrance is lighter than that of other eucalyptus varieties, making it perfect for those who enjoy a softer, more delicate aroma.
Traditionally used much like any other eucalyptus. Stimulant, antiseptic, antimalarial, antibacterial. Studies have shown antibacterial, anticataract properties. Antiseptic and deodorant: Apply crushed leaves on affected area. Cough and asthma: Take decoction of leaves as tea. In other countries, used to combat malaria. Used as antiseptic gargle. Used for lung infects and bronchitis. Oil used for croup and spasmodic throat problems.
Leaf essential oil consists mainly of sesquiterpenoids (48%), with E-nerolidol being the dominant component at 34.8%. E. deglupta demonstrated an MIC of 250 µg/ml against M. tuberculosis H37Rv and showed strong radical scavenging activity in the DPPH assay at a concentration of 1.33 µg/ml. (11)
For deeper analysis the volatile oil from E. deglupta leaves grown in Costa Rica is packed with monoterpenic hydrocarbons, mainly α-phellandrene, α-pinene, and p-cymene, with smaller amounts of limonene, β-phellandrene, and β-pinene. Its composition is a lot like that of oils from Australia and Ivory Coast, though some differences in quantity and quality might point to the plant’s knack for adapting to environmental changes.
Sadly, these appealing traits have made the species a target for overuse. The IUCN Red List now classifies the Rainbow Eucalyptus as vulnerable to extinction. We are looking for a sustainable source
Bible Inspiration
In the Bible, the rainbow is a symbol of G-d’s covenant with Noah, representing His promise to never again flood the earth (Genesis 9:13-17). It stands for hope, mercy, and G-d’s promise.
Genesis 9:13: “I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”
Genesis 9:15: “I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh.”
Maybe the Rainbow Eucalyptus is a sign of this promise.
