Lemon Corymbia (Eucalyptus citriodora)

Other names: Lemon eucalyptus, Lemon cordial, Lemon balm, Lemon eucalyptus

Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)


The lemon corymbiont, also called lemon eucalyptus, lemon balm or lemon eucalyptus, is a tree native to Australia but is also grown in other warm regions of the world. It is popular for its striking scent, which is reminiscent of lemon and citronella. Outside of its homeland, it is often grown as an ornamental plant, but it also finds use in industry. It is up to 50 metres tall, has grey to grey-brown bark and rounded leaves of a dark green colour. It flowers from November to January and the fruit is a capsule.

Due to its lemony aroma, lemon corymbiont is used in various products. For example, the leaves are used to extract an essential oil with a high citronellal content, which is used in perfumery and cosmetics, not only for its pleasant scent but also for its insect repellent properties. It is also a component of some natural cleaning products. The wood is used in papermaking and furniture, mainly for its resistance to insects. Most recently, its essential oil is also used in medicine, specifically in aromatherapy, where it is used to relieve stress and anxiety. Scientific studies also suggest that lemon eucalyptus oil may have antimicrobial and antifungal properties.
