Eucalyptus Essential Oil


Eucalyptus is a key ingredient in many cough and throat medicines and also in chest ointments. I love using it for easing sinus pressure and congestion. It is also used widely both for its calming and clearing properties as well as to ease breathing. Here are a few tips for using Eucalyptus essential oil:

• Apply to chest and feet to clear congestion and ease coughs
• Apply to sinus area to soothe pain and pressure
• Mix with fractionated coconut oil to relieve muscle pain
• Diffuse to enhance breathing
• Add to hot water and inhale to reduce nasal congestion
• Add to a cold compress to reduce a fever
