In Chinese Medicine: A dispersing pungent-green oil, Blue-gum Eucalyptus is distinguished from Narrow-leaf Eucalyptus by being cooling rather than warming. In this framework it releases the exterior and clears heat, and its notably drying quality suits presentations tending to heat with damp. It also carries a good tropism for the Lower Jiao.

Chinese Medicine functions adapted from Peter Holmes, L.Ac., M.H., Channeling Fragrance. The full profile — treatment patterns, acupoint combinations and synergist oils — is in the book.
