Known for its antiseptic prowess, it offers relief from troubled breathing in winter, air freshening, uplifting, relaxing and removes bad room smells and odors. It is also used in massage for relief from tired muscular aches.
- The major components methyl geranate, geranyl acetate, beta-phellandrene are all non-toxic, non-irritant, and have uses in perfumery. The citral components are said to be: anti-infectious, anti-viral, antiseptic, expectorant, anti-inflammatory and a digestive stimulant.
- Its plant chemical constituents give the oil a much less aggressive aroma profile than either Lemon Myrtle or Lemon Tea Tree, and a much milder effect when used in properly-formulated skin and body care products.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Scientific Articles
For E. staigeriana, 29 compounds were identified with 1,8-cineole (34.8%), neral (10.8%), geranial (10.8%), α-phellandrene (8.8%) and methyl geranate (5.2%) being the dominant ones. In contrast, a single compound, (E)-methyl cinnamate, accounted for 99.4% of the essential oils of E. oilda, although 20 compounds were identified. The essential oils displayed a variable degree of antimicrobial activity with E. staigeriana oil showing the highest activity.
