Eucalyptus Globulus is a wonderfully clearing, camphoraceous essentail oil, that is excellent for colds and chills. Australian Aborigines refer to the plant as ‘Kino’ and bind the leaves to serious wounds.
Eucalyptus Globulus is extremely useful during the winter months. It can be very effective in a steam inhalation.
Alternatively, blend the same oils in two teaspoons of Sweet Almond oil and massage into the chest and back. Blended with Citronella or Cedarwood in an oil burner, Eucalyptus can help maintain an insect-free BB.
Method of Extraction:
Steam distillation from the fresh or partly dried, long and narrow leaves of the tree.
Directions:
- Try adding 2 drops Eucalyptus, 1 drop Roman Chamomile and 1 drop Lavender to a bowl of just-boiled water. Lean over the bowl (not too close) with a towel covering your head and inhale the vapours for a few minutes.
