Eucalyptus essential oil may well be the first essential oil you ever experienced. It is often used to clear breathing and fortify respiratory function; eucalyptus oil offers a number of health benefits.
For instance, the oil possesses natural cleansing and purifying properties that help protect against environmental threats.
Eucalyptus oil supports immune system function, which is essential when there are seasonal hazards. The oil can be used to fortify oral health (dilute with water and use as a gargle, not to be taken internally).
Moreover, eucalyptus can help soothe and relieve muscle soreness and fatigue, while reducing stress. The oil’s strong purifying and cleansing properties, along with its natural ability to serve respiratory health, make it one powerful agent to have on hand when there are harmful environmental threats.
Uses
To cleanse and purify surfaces, add 3-4 drops eucalyptus to a spray bottle then fill the rest with distilled water. Shake well and use as needed. Add lemon and peppermint for a super blend.
For respiratory health, blend 1-2 drops with a carrier oil and massage over the chest. You can also use the cup and inhale protocol, which involves adding 1-2 drops to your hands, rubbing them together, cupping your nose, and inhaling slowly and deeply. Additionally, for clear breathing pathways, add a few drops to a steam shower.
General Methods of Application
Apply diluted for sensitive skin. Aromatically. Topically.
Precautions
Those with sensitive skin should dilute the oil with a carrier oil. Avoid touching the eyes, ears, and other sensitive areas with the oil. People who are nursing, pregnant, or are receiving medical attention should consult their physician before use. Additionally, make sure to store the oil away from children.
