Herbalists use Eucalyptus Essential Oil to aid colds, coughs, and other respiratory ailments. The vapor of Eucalyptus helps to loosen phlegm and improve lung function. The main constituent that makes Eucalyptus such an active oil is cineol or euclyptol. During the cold and flu season, Eucalyptus helps to relieve congestion and stuffy nose. The best way to use Eucalyptus is in a candle, or in your bath. You can put a drop of Pure Eucalyptus Essential oil ($12) in the hot water of your tub.

Eucalyptus History

Eucalyptus globulus (we’ll call it just Eucalyptus from here on out) is also known as bluegum eucalyptus, bluegum or Tasmanian bluegum (botanical family – Myrtaceae). Eucalyptus is native to Tasmania and southeastern Australia.

It was introduced into California in 1856 and into Hawaii in 1865. It is an important source of fuel wood for many countries as it burns freely, leaves little ash and produces good charcoal. It’s a very sustainable tree and can be harvested every 7 years. It’s also used for pulpwood (doesn’t work well for lumber because of excessive cracking and shrinkage).

Eucalyptus is planted in North Africa to block the spread of malaria by repelling mosquitoes and in ancient times, Australian aborigines placed the leaves of eucalyptus on wounds to cleanse and heal them.

Summing it up...

Eucalyptus essential oil is well known for its antibacterial, antiseptic, disinfecting and expectorant properties. The oil is used for colds, flu, coughs, congestion, sinusitis, respiratory infections, skin and throat infections, inflammation, sores, wounds and even as a natural insect repellent. At Delizioso Skincare we have at least a couple Eucalyptus candles standing around, especially during the cold season in Canada. Have a beautiful winter and breathe easy with Delizioso aromatherapy.
