Native to Australia, Nerolina is an evergreen tree that grows up to 35 feet and has papery bark, fragrant leaves and green or red flows. Nerolina is the linalool chemotype of Niaouli.

Nerolina has a wonderful cooling and calming effect that can help restore emotional balance. When our mind is too busy to enjoy stillness, Nerolina can help usher in peace and calm.
- Niaouli and Nerolina are two essential oils steam distilled from the leaves of the same tree. So are they the same oil? Not quite. Some essential oils are classified by the oil’s main constituent or chemotype, and this is the case for Niaouli and Nerolina. While they’re the same oil, they have different chemical makeups that cause them to smell different and have dissimilar therapeutic benefits. In this case, Niaouli is much higher in 1,8- Cineole, whereas Nerolina is higher in Linalool.
- All essential oils are volatile, meaning that they evaporate over time. Certain essential oils are more volatile than others depending on their molecular weight. Oils that are considered highly volatile tend to evaporate quicker, whereas heavier, less volatile oils evaporate slowly over time. Citrus oils are often very volatile, whereas thicker oils such as Myrrh, Sandalwood and Vetiver are much less volatile. Nerolina oil is considered to be moderately volatile.
- Nerolina is similar to Tea Tree in many ways, including that they share the same genus, melaleuca. Therapeutically, Nerolina helps relieve stress, supports the respiratory system and airways, clears congestion and sinuses, soothes cold symptoms, allergies, rashes and acne breakouts. Its aroma is also green, earthy, grass-like and similar to Tea Tree. For these reasons, Nerolina and Tea Tree essential oil can be used interchangeably. Both oils are supremely healing and worthy of having on hand.
- Nerolina essential oil is not said to have any psychoactive effects and can be safely used when following essential oil usage guidelines. To effectively enjoy the benefits of Nerolina, 1.) Add 10 drops to your essential oil diffuser per 100 ml of water. 2.) Add 10 drops to an Essential Oil Inhaler and take it with you for on-the-go therapeutic use. 3.) Create a spray by combining 20 drops Nerolina and 1 tablespoon 190-proof grain alcohol in a glass spray bottle. After a few hours, add 3 tablespoons of distilled water. Spray onto surfaces and in the air to refresh your space.
