Eucalyptus Oil Cleans The Air of Viruses

  

Aside from being the favorite salad for bears that live in Australia, Eucalyptus oil is extremely effective for coughs and colds. It is best filtered through a cold diffuser. A cold diffuser is a method where the oil is pumped through an air pump and dispersed through the air without heating. You can buy cold diffusers for your home but they are expensive. However when oils are heated they lose some of their therapeutic qualities.

  

When you breathe in molecules of eucalyptus oil it relieves pain, reduces inflammation and stimulates cells. It is also a mild antidepressant. It is good to have diffused through a home where the flu has been raging as it purifies the air.

  

One of my favorite combinations for a sick room is eucalyptus and pure essential oil of marjoram together. The marjoram is very calmly and goes will with the spicy yet pungent smell of eucalyptus.

  

Medical conditions that are helped by eucalyptus oil are bronchitis, asthma, headaches, sore joints, sinus headaches and congestion. One warning though, it can be a little bit too stimulating for epileptics is strong doses.
