Eucalyptus
Essential Oil is an anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, decongestant,
deodorant, antiseptic, antibacterial, stimulating, and other medicinal
qualities. But Eucalyptus Oil does not only help with allergies, colds
and the flu! Let me tell you more about this wonderful and popular
essential oil! Read More and Learn More!
Suffering from Allergies or Influenza?
Respiratory problems: Eucalyptus
essential oil is effective for treating a number of respiratory
problems including cold, cough, runny nose, sore throat, asthma, nasal
congestion, bronchitis and sinusitis.
Eucalyptus oil is
antibacterial, anti-fungal, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory
and decongestant in nature, which makes it a good ingredient in many
medicines that treat respiratory problems.
Gargles of eucalyptus oil mixed with warm water are consistently effective in treating sore throats.
Cleansing Wounds:
Eucalyptus oil is used for healing wounds, ulcers, burns, cuts,
abrasions and sores. It is also an effective salve for insect bites and
stings. Furthermore, besides soothing the affected area, it also
protects the open wound or irritated area from developing infections
from microbial activity and exposure to the air.
Mental Exhaustion:
Eucalyptus is a stimulating oil, which means it can help people with
dis-orders that cause sluggishness and tiredness. It helps to remove
exhaustion and mental sluggishness and rejuvenates the spirits of the
sick.
It can also be effective in the treatment of stress and mental disorders.
Since Eucalyptus Oil is a vasodilator, which means it opens the blood
vessels and helps circulation, eucalyptus essential oil is commonly used
to stimulate mental activity and increase blood flow to the brain.
Feeling Sluggish?
Lice: Due
to its well-known qualities as a bug repellent and natural pesticide,
it is frequently used as a natural treatment of lice. Some of the
mainstream treatments of lice can be very severe and damaging to the
hair, as well as packed with dangerous chemicals that you don’t want
being absorbed into your skin, so combing a few drops of eucalyptus oil
through a lice-infested head is a much better and healthier solution.
Muscle pain:
If you are experiencing joint and muscle pain, massaging eucalyptus oil
on the surface of the skin helps to relieve stress and pain. The
volatile eucalyptus oil is analgesic and anti-inflammatory in nature.
Therefore it is often recommended to patients suffering from rheumatism,
lumbago, sprained ligaments and tendons, stiff muscles, aches, fibrosis
and even nerve pain. The oil should be massaged in a circular motion on
the affected areas of the body.
Are you suffering from Chronic Pain?
Intestinal germs:
Eucalyptus oil is a vermifuge and is frequently employed to remove
germs in the intestine. Studies have shown that ingesting eucalyptus oil
can deter many of the bacterial, microbial, and parasitic conditions
that arise in the various parts of the body, particularly susceptible
areas like the colon and intestine.
Skin care: Eucalyptus oil is often applied topically to treat skin infections.
Diabetes: When ingested, eucalyptus oil can help control blood sugar. Its properties as a
vasodilator,
mentioned above, mean that the entire body benefits from the increase
in blood circulation. Diabetic patients commonly suffer from lack of
good circulation, and it can be very dangerous, even resulting in
amputation or death. Therefore, it is a good idea to frequently massage
eucalyptus oil onto the skin topically, and also inhale it as a vapor to
ease the constriction of the blood vessels. For best results, massage
it onto the skin after a show, which also has vasodilating and relaxing
qualities that will benefit diabetics.
Fever: Eucalyptus
oil is also used for treating fever and reducing body temperature. This
is why one of the common names of eucalyptus oil is “fever oil”. It
works well when combined with peppermint oil and sprayed on the body as a
mixture of a deodorant and a temperature reducer.
Other benefits of eucalyptus oil include the following:
Room freshener:
The antiseptic and deodorant nature of eucalyptus oil makes it a
perfect room freshener for hospitals. It also kills bacteria and germs
in the air, keeping the environment of the rooms clean and sterilized.
Soaps:
Eucalyptus oil is frequently used in soaps, detergents and household
cleaners. This is primarily due to its pleasant aroma and effect as a
deodorant, antibacterial, antiseptic, and antimicrobial agent.
WARNING:
There are some dangers of taking too much eucalyptus oil, because when
taken in large quantities, eucalyptus oil can be toxic. It may also
interfere with other homeopathic treatments. Also, for certain people
with allergic sensitivities, eucalyptus essential oil might be cause
airborne contact dermatitis, which can be very uncomfortable, or even
dangerous. Before beginning any new intensive alternative medical
treatment, consult your doctor or licensed practitioner for advice, or
an allergy test. Always perform a patch test before using any new
remedies and never use essential oils on babies or infants without the
permission of a licensed treating physician
