Description

Eucalyptus oil is valued in folk medicine for the following properties: helps wounds heal quickly and successfully, provides relief from a runny nose and cough, helps ease symptoms of colds, helps with respiratory ailments when a few drops are massaged into the chest (soothes an irritated throat and helps get more oxygen into the lungs), gives energy and eliminates feelings of exhaustion, revitalises the mind and supports mental activity (including helping concentration while studying), relieves muscle tension, is widely used in oral hygiene, and helps with various skin problems.
Eucalyptus essential oil is one of the strongest and also one of the broadest-spectrum oils. It’s especially effective in winter against respiratory illnesses, relieving cough and a runny nose and effectively banishing strong headaches. Read more about the healing potential of essential oils HERE!
PLEASE NOTE: Eucalyptus essential oil has a high cineole content, so it should be used with caution around infants and young children. Diffusing small amounts into the air is permitted, but you should first make sure it’s safe (that there are no allergies, asthma or similar conditions that could trigger respiratory reactions when diffusing oils).
