[edit] "Eucalyptus oil" is not "Eucalyptol"

I noticed that Eucalyptus oil had been redirected to Eucalyptol. Eucalyptol or cineole is the major isolate of standard Eucalyptus oil, but the two are not the same. "Eucalyptus oil" is a generic name for oils specifically from Eucalyptus species only. It would be like saying that citronella oil is the same citronellal - which they are not. So I have seperated "Eucalyptus oil" and "Eucalyptol" into seperate headings.John Moss (talk) 05:24, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
