Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus has a crisp, clean, aroma with a hint of citrus and floral. It is often combined with other essential oils to help support a healthy respiratory system and to ease breathing. This plant is cultivated in Australia. 

Eucalyptus essential oil has a variety of uses. These can include applications to:

• Disinfect wounds
• Acts as natural insert repellants
• Eases joint pain
• Soothe coughing and cold
• Control blood sugar

Although eucalyptus essential oil has many uses, it’s important to remember that many of them are supported through anecdotal evidence. This means that the benefits are related to personal experience instead of being backed by scientific research.

How to use essential oil

• Applied topically (on the skin)
• Diffused in the form of essential oil
• Ingested orally in tablet or capsule form
• Applied intranasally (putting droplets inside the nose)
  

Anyone with persistent symptoms that may indicate an underlying health condition should also speak to a doctor before trying peppermint oil. A doctor will be able to diagnose the problem and determine whether or not peppermint oil is likely to help.
