Benefits of Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Wellness

Improves respiratory health

Eucalyptus Essential Oil is one of the most potent essential oils for promoting clear breathing and supporting lung function. Its powerful expectorant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and analgesic properties are instrumental in improving overall respiratory health. That is why several over-the-counter vapor and chest rubs marketed to suppress cold and cough have Eucalyptus Essential Oil or its main component Eucalyptol as an active ingredient. When under the weather, use a few drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil topically or aromatically to ease breathing, soothe nasal tract, relieve congestion, and reduce throat pain. Diffuse 6-12 drops in your room, or apply it topically on the chest and throat after diluting in a base oil, e.g., Jojoba Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil.

Decongests and relieves cough

Eucalyptus Essential Oil helps to relieve throat and nasal congestion, reduce sinusitis, clear the airways of mucus, and act as a natural cough suppressant. It exhibits these properties due to its main component, Eucalyptol, that possesses potent decongestant, expectorant, and anti-microbial properties. Add two drops each of Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, and Peppermint Essential Oils to a steam inhaler and inhale deeply to help clear the congestion. Apply it topically on the chest and throat after diluting in a base oil such as Jojoba Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil.

Relieves seasonal allergies

In addition to its anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and anti-microbial properties, Eucalyptus Essential Oil exhibits immuno-regulatory effects, which means it suppresses bodily reactions to allergens, thereby providing relief from seasonal allergies.

Boosts immunity

Eucalyptus Essential Oil exhibits powerful anti-microbial properties against a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It strengthens our immunity by protecting us from harmful airborne and surface bacteria and viruses that cause infections. You can either diffuse the oil or use it in a spray in water.

Alleviates headache

Eucalyptus Essential Oil is an entirely natural and effective remedy to help alleviate headaches. It is incredibly helpful in relieving headaches stemming from sinuses as the oil helps to decongest and clear sinuses, thereby reducing headaches caused by sinus pressure. Its de-stressing and relaxing properties help to alleviate headaches caused by stress or fatigue.

Relieves muscle and joint pain

Eucalyptus Essential Oil is an effective natural remedy for relieving pain owing to its analgesic properties. It is known to reduce joint pain, relieve sore muscles, and reduce swelling and inflammation.

You may add Peppermint and Wintergreen Essential Oils for better results.
