Eucalyptus Essential Oil to the Rescue!!
During World War I, Eucalyptus was widely used to control infections and influenza. The close quarters of the troops allowed illness to spread quickly. Eucalyptus was easy to get and share, and made a big difference in the health of the troops.
But HOW?? Eucalyptus has been found to be antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antioxidant. Recent studies show positive results with pain relief, stimulating the immune system, fungal infections, colds, and respiratory problems. Eucalyptus is also an effective insect repellent. There are so many ways to benefit from Eucalyptus!
Inhaling the vapor from eucalyptus has been a popular remedy for colds and chest congestion for several hundred years. Modern commercial vapor rubs, cough lozenges, and medications often contain eucalyptus in their ingredients. You may even be using a product that contains eucalyptus already!
Where does Eucalyptus Come From?
Eucalyptus is a fast-growing evergreen tree native to Australia. There are about 400 different species of eucalyptus that have been classified. Here at the Wellness Lounge, a part of Jordan Essentials, we offer pure, steam distilled essential oils from the leaves of the Eucalyptus globulus tree, also known as Blue Gum. Eucalyptus leaves have been used for centuries for various health and skin benefits. The leaves of the eucalyptus tree contain flavonoids which are plant-based antioxidants, and tannins which may help reduce inflammation.
Eucalyptus Essential Oil Safety & Precautions
According to the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA), Eucalyptus Essential Oil can generally be safely used on skin when it is diluted with a carrier such as an body oil or a Jordan Essentials Lotion.
Eucalyptus can produce irritation for sensitive skin, so test a small area before applying liberally and never use too close to the eyes. It is also generally recommended to avoid using Eucalyptus on or around cats.
