Eucalyptus
Essential oil
properties include anti-inflammatory,
antispasmodic, decongestant, deodorant,
antiseptic, antibacterial, stimulating, and
other medicinal qualities.
Listed below are some common uses for every
day needs.
Respiratory
problems:
Studies show February and March as the highest
months of Colds and Flu. 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, antifungal, antimicrobial,
antiviral, anti-inflammatory and decongestant
in nature, which makes it a good ingredient in
many medicines that treat respiratory
problems. Patients suffering from
non-bacterial sinusitis showed faster
improvement when given medicine containing
eucalyptus oil. Gargles of eucalyptus oil
mixed with warm water are consistently
effective in treating sore throats.
Asthma affects millions of people around the
world, and there are many known treatments for
the condition. One of these is the use of
eucalyptus essential oil. Simply massage 1-3
drops onto the chest and the soothing effect
of the aroma and vapors will calm the throat
and dilate the blood vessels, which will allow
more oxygen into the lungs so normal breathing
can be enjoyed. The anti-inflammatory
properties of eucalyptus essential oil also
come into play in using it to get relief from
asthmatic symptoms.
Wounds:Eucalyptus
Essential oil
has antiseptic qualities because of
its germicidal property. Eucalyptus oil is used
for healing wounds, ulcers, burns, cuts,
abrasions and sores. It is also an effective
salve for insect bites and stings. Eucalyptus
also protects the open wound or irritated area
from developing infections from microbial
activity and exposure to the air.
Mental exhaustion:Eucalyptus
Essential oil creates a
cooling and refreshing effect. Eucalyptus oil, a
stimulant, removes exhaustion and mental
sluggishness and rejuvenates the spirits of the
sick. It can also be effective in the treatment
of stress and mental disorders.
Aside from mental exhaustion, eucalyptus
essential oil is commonly used to stimulate
mental activity and increase blood flow to the
brain. Since the essential oil is considered a
vasodilator by many, it means that it increases
the blood flow around the body by relaxing the
blood vessels and allowing more blood to
circulate. Basically, more blood to the brain
means more brain power, and eucalyptus essential
oil is commonly used in classrooms as a form of
causal aromatherapy to increase student
performance.
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. Eucalyptus
Essential oil is
analgesic and anti-inflammatory in nature. 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.
Dental care:
I find Eucalyptus
Essential oil very
effective against cavities, dental plaque,
gingivitis and other dental infections owing to
its germicidal properties. This is why
eucalyptus essential oil is so commonly found as
an active ingredient in mouthwash, toothpaste,
and other dental hygiene products.
Lice: Due
to its well-known qualities as a bug repellent
and natural pesticide,Eucalyptus
Essential oil is used as
a natural treatment of lice. Some of the better
known treatments of lice can be very severe and
damaging to the hair, as well as packed with
dangerous chemicals that you dont to absorb
into your skin, so combing a few drops of Eucalyptus
Essential oil through a
lice-infested head is a much better and
healthier solution.
Intestinal germs:Eucalyptus
Essential oil is a
vermifuge and is frequently used 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.
Diabetes: When
ingested, Eucalyptus
Essential 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
shower, which also has vasodilating and relaxing
qualities that will benefit diabetics.
Fever:Eucalyptus
Essential 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
Essential Oil and sprayed on the body as a
mixture of a deodorant and a temperature
reducer.
Soaps:Eucalyptus
Essential 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.
