Eucalyptus Essential Oil (Eucalyptus globulus) is an evergreen tree native to Australia but cultivated worldwide. It was first used by the Aborigines in the dry outback—they chewed the roots, which hold a high concentration of water. They also drank eucalyptus tea as a remedy for fever. As this use spread, eucalyptus became known as Australian fever tea.
The highly concentrated oil that’s steam-distilled from the leaves of the tree has been used medicinally since at least 1788, when doctors reportedly noted the presence of the oil and began using it to treat chest problems and colic. In the late 1800s, its ability to promote sweating and clear mucus led to eucalyptus oil being prescribed for respiratory conditions including bronchitis, flu, asthma, and coughs. As word about eucalyptus oil spread, it began to be used in other ways, including as a liniment for tired, sore muscles, and to ease the pain of arthritis. Though the essential oil is still recommended today for a host of medicinal applications, its primary use remains the treatment of cough, cold, bronchitis, and symptomatic relief of colds and congestion of the upper respiratory tract.
Like most essential oils, eucalyptus oil contains many natural components. But the key one is 1,8-cineole (aka cineole and eucalyptol), the compound that’s responsible for its clean, sharp, slightly medicinal smell as well as its medicinal value. According to a 2010 review, eucalyptol has been shown to have strong antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal action, which may explain its traditional use as a treatment for respiratory ailments.

Precautions:
Eucalyptus oil is effective in promoting healthy skin by soothing and healing a wide range of skin issues. Use Eucalyptus Essential oil with a few precautions:
• You should not apply Eucalyptus oil directly to skin. It’s important to dilute the oil with a carrier oil, such as olive oil, coconut oil, or almond oil.
• For every 1 to 2 drops of tea tree oil, add 12 drops of carrier oil.
• Also, be careful when using around the eye area. Exposure can cause redness and irritation.
• Before you use tea tree oil, do a patch test to make sure your skin doesn’t react to the Eucalyptus essential oil.
Note:
(We recommend a patch test before use). As Essential oils are highly concentrated, DO NOT use them directly on the skin. Always dilute them before use with a carrier oil (i.e. Coconut oil, Almond oil, Avocado oil etc.). 2% dilution recommended.
