Intro
An essential oil is a concentrated liquid containing volatile aroma compounds
from aromatic plants. It is usually distilled, sometimes expressed or solvent
extracted. Eucalyptus essential oil is said to be antibacterial, disinfectant and
an analgesic. It has been used to relieve coughs, colds, and other such respiratory
troubles. It soothes muscle and joint pains, and helps to heal wounds,
burns, ulcers and insect bites. In aromatherapy eucalyptus is said to
promote activity, vitality, and energy
Usage
For respiratory troubles, a few drops of this oil placed on a
cloth can be inhaled through the mouth and exhaled through
the nose for half a minute. It is applied directly on sores, rashes
and insect bites. Add a few drops to your bath water to feel
invigorated and refreshed. Soak your sore feet in a basin of
warm water with 4-5 drops of this oil for relief. A few drops of
oil in a diffuser is said to kill germs and airborne bacteria, a
good idea for a sickroom. Eucalyptus essential oil is for
external use only; always consult an authorised practitioner
when using it as a health remedy.
Ancient Wisdom
Essential oils have been understood to have played a role in
healing in ancient times in Egypt, China, and other parts of the
world. They are said to be the oldest form of medicine and
cosmetic, since they are distilled from plants, not involving
complicated processes or machinery, but an art nonetheless. For
their healing and aromatic properties, they were considered more
valuable than gold to the ancients.
