Well I have seen this site which has eucalyptus oil (they have other oils too):
Oil; Eucalyptus at escofoods.com .

I have also found this:
NOW Eucalyptus Essential Oil 4 oz 100% Pure - NOW Foods Brand Supplements .

One of the members had success clearing up their scalp with eucalytus oil so I have used it. Much less smelly than teatree. I know many like teatree but it has a horrible smell. Plus teatree would dry out my skin.

i finally found EO in a store, but it says not to put it on skin ( yeah, i know, we never read instrutions.lol) but to use it as an air freshner. so ive been hesitant to put it on myself, in case i got the wrong stuff..its kind of a funky smell, not too bad, but im trying to smell better, not worse.hehe

Here is a very good article from the University of Minn. on the safe use of essential oils, which should always be diluted if used on the skin:

Well the esco site is a food one why I mentioned it. With essential oils purity is important (oils used for aromatherapy might have additives which are not so good). Sojii thanks for including information on the safe use of essential oils.

LC, I was answering a post from sammy (which was quoted in my original answer) who was asking not about eucalyptus oil which can be found nearly anywhere in the US, but about magnoplasm which as far as I can see is only found in Australia. It weighs some too, so would not be cheap to ship (as already stated in my post) to the US or UK. If you read morgie 007's post you will see that this poster mentions this product, hence sammy's question.

Thanks TCM for the clarification. Eucalyptus is native to Austrailia I think alhtough in California where I was born we had Eucalyptus trees in our backyard.
