Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Description

Benefits

1.Colds & Flu: Works as an expectorant and helps cleanse your body of toxins.
2.Hair Nourishment: A few drops with some coconut or olive oil gives your
hair a nice moisturizing pick-me-up.
3.Hand Cleaner: remove grease and grime from your workday and can
rejuvenate sore hands and feet when mixed into your salt bath.
4.Sinus and Allergies
A study from NYU Medical School found that using eucalyptus was effective
at treating sinusitis. Patients experienced faster improvement when
supplementing with eucalyptus oil for allergies and sinus issues. The study
had participants take eucalyptus oil internally, and it’s also recommended to
gargle with it to clear the throat.
5.Natural Home Care
Not only does eucalyptus give a nice, fresh fragrance to your home products,
but it adds vital anti-microbial properties as well. You can’t go wrong putting
several drops into pretty much everything: soap, laundry detergent, mop water,
toilet cleaner, window cleaner … the list goes on!
6.Odor Remover
Whether you’re battling smelly shoes or a stinky dog bed, topically wash items
to remove odors with a wet rag soaked in eucalyptus oil-infused water, and
place outside to dry in the sun. This can prevent odors as well as keep the shape
intact! You may also mix it with lemon oil or tea tree oil for an anti-stink spray.
7. Air Cleanser
Try putting a few drops into your vacuum and clothes dryer filters to freshen
them up and sanitize them a little. Also, it’s great for killing mold in your home,
and you can mix eucalyptus with other oils like clove and tea tree oil to cleanse
the air and maintain a mold-free home.
8. Spot Remover
Like lemon essential oil, eucalyptus oil is highly effective at removing spots on
your carpet, clothes and basically every fabric you have in the house. It even
works to get gum off your shoes! Make sure to “test” it on an inconspicuous
place first just to make sure the oil doesn’t react strangely with the material
you treat. You just don’t know what’s in the synthetic materials nowadays!
9. Respiratory Problems
Eucalyptus essential oil is highly effective for treating respiratory problems,
such as asthma, bronchitis, COPD, pneumonia and even tuberculosis. Using
eucalyptus for asthma is a proven treatment that dilates the blood vessels and
allows more oxygen into the lungs. Simply mix eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil
and coconut oil for a Homemade Vapor Rub, and put on upper chest.
10. Wound Treatment
Eucalyptus oil has antimicrobial and antiseptic properties that are effective at
treating wounds, burns, cuts, abrasions, sores and scrapes. It also can be made
into a salve or healing ointment and put on bug bites and stings. Along with
acting as a natural pain reliever to the area, it also keeps the area from getting
infected, which speeds healing.
