Cautions

Buy Eucalyptus Oil

I always recommend Mountain Rose first because I like and trust them. Their quality is excellent, their prices are good, and many of their essential oils are organic (and all of them are therapeutic grade.)

Or you could shop for eucalyptus essential oil at Amazon. They have a number of different brands available at a variety of prices. (Just remember, you get what you pay for.) Happy hunting!

In terms of recommending suppliers, there's lots of really good suppliers out there, but I keep balking at the price. I can't in good conscience send you to a supplier whose quality is similar to Mountain Rose but who charges considerably (or even a little) more. I wouldn't do it myself, and I won't recommend it to you.

Which brings me to another point. A small commmission is sent to Easy-Aromatherapy-Recipes.com each time you buy from these suppliers by clicking on one of my links to their website.
