Eucalyptus essential oil is used for respiratory infections and asthma...
Essentials oils have been used around the globe for centuries. They are used for both pleasure and medicinal purposes. Medicinally, certain essential oils can be ingested orally to have a biochemical effect on your body. Because essential oils are volatile, meaning they can evaporate into the air especially when added to hot water, they can be breathed in through your respiratory system.
This can have a local effect on your sinuses, nasal passages and lungs. They can even enter your blood circulation through being inhaled which will then have a biochemical effect on your entire body. Topically essential oils work by penetrating your skin to affect an area locally and by penetrating your skin a small amount can enter your blood stream affecting your whole body. Applied topically, essential oils are absorbed through your olfactory nerve in your nose affecting your brain and nervous system. These various pathways can affect your health both mentally and physically. The study of Aromatherapy – the medicinal use of essential oils – falls under the new science called Psychoneuroimmunology, which is the study of the interaction of your psyche, nervous system and immune system. Science has shown that when you have a positive outlook and feel relaxed your immune system works better.
Aromatherapy and the use of essential oils and resins from plants have been used in cultures globally since Biblical times. They were in such demand that they played an important role in international trade around the globe. In Egypt, high priests recorded the many medicinal uses of essential oils onto papyrus paper. Records show the Chinese used aromatic herbs and massage over 2000 years ago. And in Indian Ayurvedic medicine, essential oils were and still are used in massage and on pressure points to correct underlying imbalances and to improve health.

What is Eucalyptus Essential Oil?
Eucalyptus Oil comes from the Eucalyptus tree indigenous to hot climates like the Middle East, India, and Australia. Aboriginal cultures in Australia would apply Eucalyptus leaves to skin to heal wounds, prevent skin infections and prevent muscular pain. In India Eucalyptus was used to cool fever and prevent contagious disease.
To make the essential oil, Eucalyptus leaves are used. Its sweet, menthol, woody scent coupled with its proven healing abilities makes it a favourite essential oil in any household.
