Applications
Eucalyptus oil lends its healing properties to a range of pharmaceutical inhalations, cough syrups and liniments produced to inhibit the symptoms of colds, flu, coughs, sinusitis and throat infections. It is an effective decongestant with supplementary properties that fortify the immune system. In addition to warming and clearing the breathing, eucalyptus has been used to cool and refresh those afflicted with feverish conditions such as malaria, typhoid, cholera etc earning it the vernacular title 'fever tree' in certain parts of Europe.
Applied externally, eucalyptus can provide a thoroughly warming tonic for muscular aches and pains, sprains, poor circulation and rheumatoid arthritis. Wounded or infected skin complaints such as burns, blisters, cuts, insect bites, lice, skin infections will also benefit from eucalyptus oil?s cleansing, antiseptic qualities. |

About the Product
Also known as blue gum eucalyptus, the slightly harsh, penetrating odour of this oil enjoys a global reputation as a powerful remedy for respiratory complaints. As an expectorant, eucalyptus loosens phlegm in the chest and some have argued that may help to fight off the virus that causes bronchitis. Administered correctly, eucalyptus will purify, strengthen and heal both inside and out, comforting and reinvigorating the muscles whilst boosting the immune system against diseases ranging from chickenpox to measles. Eucalyptus is not to be taken internally.
