Benefits of Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Written By shana freddi

There are varieties of the Eucalyptus plant. The one I use in my products is the latin “Eucalyptus Globulus”, also called “Blue Gum” or “Tasmanian Gum”, originating from Australia. Eucalyptus is a magical plant with so many benefits and is useful in so many ways.

It is used to:

  • Alleviate respiratory issues

  • Ease sore muscles

  • Aid mental clarity

  • Increase relaxation

  • Clean the home

Be cautious of Eucalyptus as its strong properties can be adverse for children, pets and women pregnant or breastfeeding in large quantities.

Eucalyptus has many properties such as:

  • Analgesic - Pain relief, such as musculoskeletal pain and headaches

  • Antibacterial - Fights various bacteria, as well as stengthens immune system

  • Antifungal - Treats funghi and/or overgrowths on your skin

  • Antiseptic - Prevents infection by killing or slowing down the growth of microorganisms

  • Antiviral - Helps to destroy a viral infection and/or suppresses it’s ability to replicate.

  • Stimulating - Has a stimulating effect to energize the body and mind and boosts energy, and also acts as a immune system booster. It also helps with focus and concentration. It also alleviates mental fatigue, exhaustion and overwhelmingness

  • Helps alleviate respiratory diseases such as respiratory tract infections, sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, asthma and general decongestant and expectorant

Eucalyptus can be used in various ways, from steam inhalation all the way to massages and home products.
