Extracted by steam distillation from the leaves mature of Eucalyptus smithii R.T.Baker (eucalyptus of Smith, gully gum), large tree of the Myrtaceae endemic of the altopiani umidi of the New South Wales and of the Victoria in Australia, where grows in the gole wet and lungo the corsi of water in formations forestal dense. Prende the name from the botanic australiano Richard Daniel Baker. The phytochemical profile is dominated by 1,8-cineole (70-85%) — among the concentrations more alte in qualsiasi species of Eucalyptus — with α-pinene, limonene and terpinen-4-olo. L'altissimo tenore of 1,8-cineole makes the AND. smithii the more effective expectorant and antiseptic respiratory among the eucalipti, with a dolcezza and a tollerability slightly upper to the AND. globulus for the sensory skin. In aromatherapy is considered the 'children-friendly' among the eucalipti (above the 3 years), recommended for raffreddori, bronchitis, sinusitis and otiti. Properties immune-stimulating and antiviral ben documented in letteratura. Top note strongly fresh, eucaliptoide and balsamic.
