Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Eucalyptus essential oil has a balancing and stimulating effect.  Ours is wild harvested from the leaves of the Australian Native Eucalyptus tree.  Its aroma is a mix of camphor and the forest.  Eucalyptus oil has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antiviral properties. It is popularly used to treat lung disorders like asthma and bronchitis. Eucalyptus oil is often used to treat flu as a decongestant and it great for headaches and sinus problems when inhaled or massaged with base oil into the scalp. It is also used to relieve muscle and rheumatic pains by massaging it into the skin. 

Eucalyptus is mentally invigorating and stimulating.  It increases alertness and gives one a greater ability to concentrate.  It is great for relieving driving stress and encourages alertness in the car.  In addition to that, eucalyptus has a powerful scent that can change the environment and air quality very quickly. It's a great odor remover. 

Some aroma therapists say Eucalyptus is valuable for treating Urinary Tract infections and recommend a few drops in a bath. I especially like its ability to open up the nasal passages and invigorate the senses. Put some boiling hot water in a bowl, add a few drops of Eucalyptus, put a towel over your head and the bowl, and inhale the steam to clear out your sinuses. Or just put a few drops on a warm wet wash cloth and hold to your nose. Essential Oil Antioxidant Capacity (ORAC scale): 83,000
