The Benefits of Eucalyptus Oil

November 12, 2024

Eucalyptus' (Eucalyptus globulus) distinctive fresh, camphorous scent combined with its natural ability to invigorate your state of being and support your immune system make it a staple in any household, especially during cold and flu season. It can sharpen your senses and revitalize your mind. 

Therapeutic & Energetic Qualities

Eucalyptus is a natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial. It's beneficial in massage blends as it is a natural analgesic. Using Eucalyptus can fight mental fatigue, especially when our days are shorter and we're exposed to less sunshine. It can be blended with Sweet Orange, Lime, or Lemon essential oils for a boost of immune support and to freshen your space. 

How to Incorporate Eucalyptus into Your Daily Routine

• Protect your home with Eucalyptus. Use 3-5 drops in a room diffuser at the first sign of sniffles. 
• Eucalyptus can support your respiratory health. Dilute 2-3 drops with a nourishing carrier oil and massage onto your chest for clear breathing.
• Eucalyptus should be used with caution before bedtime. It may keep you awake!
• Diffuse or apply Eucalyptus when in need of focus and concentration such as studying, during work, or writing. 
• A few drops of Eucalyptus in your shower combined with steam will awaken your senses and promote clear breathing. 
• Use Eucalyptus, (smell straight from the bottle), to combat jet lag. 

Eucalyptus essential oil is a staple in our aromatherapy toolkit! Use it year round to support your immune system, increase clarity and alertness, and to freshen up your home. We love the notes it adds to our Bug Slay Mist.
