Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Eucalyptus oil has the potential to reduce the duration and severity of cold sores. Some people say that eucalyptus oil has a calming scent and a soothing sensation on the skin when it’s applied. With its minty fragrance Eucalyptus is often used in cough drops as an antiseptic to treat colds, sore throats, and coughs.  It contains properties that will help get rid of phlegm and mucus, while its antibacterial and antiviral properties work to battle the bacteria that can cause a cold. Used in syrups it is outstanding for relieving sinus congestion as well as a cough, blocked air passages, and all sorts of other respiratory troubles.

You can use eucalyptus essential oil in multiple ways, including adding it to a diffuser to clear nasal passages while eliminating harmful airborne bacteria. Add 3 drops to hot water and inhale the steam to relieve sinus congestion.

Eucalyptus essential Oil is used in the Muscle & Joint Pain, Athlete’s Foot, Sore Throat, Cough and Colds & Congestion massage oil blend treatment at Oriental Massage Galway (OMG).
