Since 1852 this oil has been used widely in Australia & it's uses soon spread throughout the world. They used to use eucalyptus oil converted into a gas to light their homes. Little did they know they had stumbled upon one of the most powerful forms of natural medicine ever!
Eucalyptus is an expectorant and can help cleanse your body of toxins & harmful micro-organisms. It can be used for a healthy scalp & is often used against lice. It's great for sinusitis issues. It's highly effective for treating respiratory issues such as asthma, bronchitis, COPD, pneumonia & even TB. It dialates the blood vessels so it allows more, oxygen into the lungs, which can lead to healing.
It has anti-microbial & antiseptic properties, so it's effective at treating wounds, cuts, bug bites, stings, etc. It also helps because it's a natural pain reliever.
This wonderfully powerful oil also stimulates the immune system & provides antioxidant protection as well. The key ingredient 'cineolo' - an organic compound that has widespread, astounding medicinal effects. It's even been known to help lower blood pressure & kills leukemia cells!
Personally, I love the smell of this and can't seem to get enough of it at times. It is one of THE main ingredients in our popular Quartzsite Krud Kicker at Herbs 4 Health!!!
I have put eucalyptus oil on a washcloth and placed it on the shower floor when I have a stuffy nose. It helps with the steam to loosen things up!
