The benefits and uses of Eucalyptus Essential Oil are many! In this blog post we’re going to take a deep dive into how and why to use this essential oil.

Benefits and uses of Eucalyptus Essential Oil 

The short version is that 100% pure, unadulterated Eucalyptus Essential Oil has traditionally reported benefits for respiratory health, as an insect repellent and for anti-inflammatory effects. It can be used topically by adding 3-5 drops to your favorite carrier oil. Aromatically you can use it by adding 3-5 drops to a diffuser, or you can merely inhale the aroma directly from the bottle.

Eucalyptus Oil comes from the leaf of a tall evergreen tree and offers many topical and aromatic benefits. The main chemical components of Eucalyptus oil are eucalyptol and alpha-terpineol. This essential oil has a soothing, cooling vapor which makes Eucalyptus ideal for a soothing massage. Its benefits can be easily obtained through inhaling and diffusing. Aromatically, these compounds can promote feelings of a clear mind and relaxation.

Eucalyptus oil also contains strong purifying properties that are wonderful for the skin. It can also be used to cleanse surfaces and the air. Due to its cleansing properties, Eucalyptus is frequently found as an ingredient in mouth wash to freshen breath and promote oral health.

One thing I have learned is that for essential oils to be completely effective, they need to be pure and potent. Far too frequently essential oils on the market, contain impurities and fillers which weaken their power. At NLDBC we only sell 100% pure, potent and organic  Eucalyptus Essential Oil.

Where and how to use

1. Believe it or not, you can keep your surfaces clean and free of fingerprints with the cleansing benefits of Eucalyptus oil all-purpose spray. All you need to do to make this simple cleaner is to mix 10 drops of Eucalyptus oil, Peppermint oil, and Wild Orange oil with 1/4 cup of white vinegar and 14-ounces of water in a 16-ounce glass spray bottle. Shake well and spray on needed surfaces. This spray is not only perfect for a quick clean, around the house, but it really smells great too!
2. Eucalyptus Essential Oil can turn your shower into an even more relaxing experience. Simply place two drops of your Eucalyptus oil right onto the shower floor while you are showering. The hot water will be steamy and becomes a natural diffuser for the oil. Your shower will leave you feeling clear headed and invigorated.
3. Using Eucalyptus Oil in a diffuser as aroma therapy will dissolve the tension of a long day. Merely put some Eucalyptus in a diffuser before you go to bed and the aroma will promote feelings of relaxation that will prepare you for a better night’s sleep.
4. Why settle for any old moisturizing lotion when you can transform your moisturizer into a beneficial product for your skin and your senses? Just add one drop of Eucalyptus oil to your usual moisturizer. Rub the mixture together in your palms and then apply it to your skin as you normally would, for revitalizing benefits.
5. Sometimes you are really tense but don’t have any time to relax. You don’t  need to stifle your feelings. Instead you can have a calming and yet energizing boost with the help of Eucalyptus oil. High on tension but low on time? Just place a few drops of Eucalyptus oil into your hands, cup your hands over your nose and simply inhale deeply.
