What's eucalyptus oil good for?

Question

sinuses or other?

Answer 1

It has many uses. It's most commonly used for the lungs. There are 2 species of eucalyptus that you will see out in the market.

Eucalyptus radiata and Eucalyptus globulus.

Both fight infection but radiata I use specifically for sinus stuff. Although I know people who use globulus for it too.

Here's a quick rundown:

Eucalyptus - fights infection and stimulates immune system. put a few drops in a pot of just boiled water to steam inhale for clearing sinuses. (do not do this while the pot is on the stove). mix a few drops with a tsp of olive oil and spread on the glands of the throat and under the nose to clear glands and congestion. rub the mixture on the chest as an expectorant

pain killer and antiseptic for skin situations like blisters, bruises, infections, sprains, sore throat (2 drops in warm water as a gargle)

antifungal

antiviral - use a diffuser, vaporizer or compress for viral infections

Respiratory: decongestant, expectorant, cough, sinus congestion. use as an ointment or compress

Contraindications: don't apply undiluted essential oils to the face, eyes and nose or undiluted on wounds and skin inflammation.
