Property

Lemon gum essential oil is a well-known insect repellent. It has antiseptic, antiviral, bactericidal, expectorant, fungicidal, insecticidal, and even deodorant properties.
A traditional remedy for treating fungal infections, seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, and sores, it is completely non-toxic when applied externally; however, if taken internally, it can cause serious health problems. Herbal tradition even attributes to it the property of "promoting mental concentration by clarifying one's thoughts when making decisions."

Uses

Lemon gum essential oil is primarily used in the production of insect repellent sprays and as a starting material for isolating natural citronellol. It is also an occasional fragrance component in detergents and perfumes.

Botany

Native to the tropical regions of eastern Australia, lemon gum is grown mainly in Brazil and China and is also known as the "scented gum tree" or "citrate eucalyptus". It is a large evergreen tree, up to fifty meters tall, highly decorative and the timber is highly prized. The trunk exudes resin (" gum") and has smooth bark with multicolored spots of gray, yellow, and pink. The leaves, oval when young, later become narrow and pointed; when dried, they are traditionally wrapped in scented sachets used to perfume linens.
The botanical name for lemon gum (from Latin citriodora) literally means "lemon-scented."
Contrary to the botanical classification accepted until almost the end of the 20th century, which attributed this plant to the genus Eucalyptus, modern biomolecular investigations have clarified that it should instead be reclassified (together with numerous "cousins"), under a new genus in its own right which has been called "Corymbia".
