The mighty healer, eucalyptus has been used to purify + cleanse for centuries. While more than 600 species of eucalyptus exist, each produces its own unique oil. And their uses are equally diverse: from relieving pain, to boosting the immune system, to purifying negative energies, the eucalyptus cleanse knows no bounds. It follows suit that dyeing, too, is an expression of these differences. With Willow’s citrusy oranges, Silver Dollar’s electric yellows and the deep golds of Baby Blue, each variety’s dyebath is as much of a surprise as it is a raw delight. Regardless of the outcome, the process itself creates a heavenly aroma that does in fact offer a bit of a soul-cleanse—whether you need it or not—and there’s probably a metaphor for us in there somewhere. Heal on, eucalyptus.
