How to Use Eucalyptus Oil for Better Health and A Stronger Immune System

As cold season continues, it’s even more important to take care of our health and immune system. We hate being laid out, missing school and work and we aren’t alone. But lucky for all of us, there is a power plant that helps keep us strong, protected and cleansed to beat the colds that come our way; eucalyptus. And we want to show you some of the best ways to use it for the better health, a boosted immune system and so much more!  

Colds & Flu

Eucalyptus works as an expectorant and helps to cleanse your body of toxins and harmful microorganisms that can make you feel sick. One of the most effective ways to utilize eucalyptus for colds is add several pumps of eucalyptus oil spray into your diffuser before going to sleep so you can take advantage of the healing benefits all night long.

For more acute situations, you can make an at-home steam bath by pouring a cup of boiling water into a bowl, and then spraying 2 sprays of eucalyptus mist, place a towel over your head and inhale deeply for five–10 minutes.

Odor Remover  

Whether you’re battling smelly shoes or a stinky dog bed, topically wash items to remove odors with a wet rag, spray on the area with eucalyptus mist and then place outside to dry in the sun. This will prevent odors as well as kill the bacteria and keep it from spreading.

Air Cleanser

Try spraying eucalyptus into your vacuum and clothes dryer filters to freshen them up and sanitize them a little. Also, it’s great for killing mold in your home, and you can mix eucalyptus with other oils like clove and tea tree oil to cleanse the air and maintain a mold-free home.

Respiratory Problems

Eucalyptus essential oil is highly effective for treating respiratory problems, such as asthma, bronchitis, COPD, pneumonia and even tuberculosis. Using eucalyptus for asthma is a proven treatment that dilates the blood vessels and allows more oxygen into the lungs. Simply spray into the shower steam or bath area for a steam version of the ever popular vapor rub remedy!

Hair Nourishment

A few sprays of eucalyptus oil mist into some coconut or olive oil and then massaged in gives your hair a nice moisturizing pick-me-up. This is especially great to ward off dandruff and an itchy scalp. Also, eucalyptus is used as a natural remedy for lice in replacement of chemical treatments.

As you can see, eucalyptus has super strengths that go above and beyond when it comes to the support and nourishment of the body’s systems. For more information or to get your own, visit us at Eurospa today!

Coughs and Congestion, OH MY! Here’s How to Kick Them Fast and Naturally!

It’s that time of the year when the winds start to shift and with that comes temperature changes, pollen, and germs all over. Half the time, you don’t know if you’re sick, or simply facing seasonal allergies, which leaves you unable to find just the right medicine for the job.

What you really need, is a solution that quickly breaks up the congestion in your sinuses and lungs, as well as helps you relieve the aches and pains that come with it. What you need is Eucalyptus oil.

Eucalyptus Oil is known for its expectorant, decongestant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral activity. A few studies have found that the Eucalyptol component in Eucalyptus Oil may help break up and clear mucus from the lungs. Research has also found that using Eucalyptus Oil for respiratory problems such as sinusitis, whooping cough, bronchitis, colds, and nasal congestion may help speed up the healing process.

A simple remedy for respiratory and sinus conditions is to inhale the powerful plant oils through heat and steam. Simply run a hot shower and add a few sprays of Eucalyptus mist to the steam, for a symptom relieving, spa style experience. You can also spray the mist mentioned around the house and inhale the Eucalyptus Oil vapors to help with congestion and to make breathing more comfortable.

If you have access to a steam room or sauna, even better. Just bring your little travel bottle with you and spray in for a luxury level of healing.

Eucalyptus Oil Can Stop Spreading of the Cold and Flu Viruses!

Eucalyptus is widely known for it's menthol properties and it's ability to bring respiratory comfort, but what's less known is it's power to disinfect living areas and to help prevent the spread of colds and flu.  With its strong anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties, dispursing this oil into the 

environment via spray, diffuser or steam, can quickly eliminate these pathogens from your home or office.

Other Benefits of Eucalyptus Oil

Eucaluptus Oil is also beneficial for the symptoms of colds and flu.  It is an excellent expectorant, helping to clear congestion; and, it is very soothing to the respiratory system, helping to ease coughs.  It works well diffused or inhaled, but can also be applied directly to the chest or throat, either in an ointment or dilution with a carrier oil, such as olive, coconut or jojoba.  A few drops of eucalyptus oil can also be added to a cup of warm water, so you can breathe the vapors.

Eucalyptus can also be very helpful for asthma and bronchitis.  It is very soothing to the respiratory system, and is quite anti-inflammatory.

Some Medical Research To Consider

One study found that spraying a 2% concentration of eucalyptus oil (mixed with water) into contaminated air was effective at killing 70% of staphylococci bacteria.  There have also been numerous studies into the anti-viral properties of eucalyptus oil. Eucalyptol, Eucalyptus radiata's primary active constituent, is used in many pharmaceutical preparations, mouthwashes (like Listerine^®) and OTC cold and flu remedies; however, a synthetic form is generally used.  Yet, studies have found that thenatural form of eucalyptol is more effective.

As you can see, Eucalyptus oil is an investment into your health that should not be neglected. Beneficial for family and business alike, your family and friends deserve an edge to protect and support your health.
