Eucalyptus essential oil is best known for its expectorant properties. It reduces the swelling of mucous membranes and loosens phlegm to make breathing easier, while increasing oxygen supply to the body’s cells. It can help with airborne staphylococci bacteria and is stimulating to the immune system. These properties make it very useful for colds and flu as well as sinus problems and throat infections. It supports the pancreas and lowers blood sugar. Eucalyptus is also helpful for pain of a cold cramping nature like muscle pain and neuralgia. Emotionally, eucalyptus restores vitality and positive outlook and assists concentration. It dispels stagnant feelings that can keep one bound to a limiting environment. Relieving a sense of emotional suffocation, it helps one to achieve freedom and reduce fear and excessive caution.
