The Essential Oil That Treats Chicken Pox, Colds, And Foot Problems, Too

Eucalyptus essential oil is a must-have for the homesteader because of its numerous health benefits and disinfecting properties.
Because of this, I stock up on it and always keep it within reach.
Eucalyptus uses date back to the Native Americans, who crushed eucalyptus leaves and used the herb not only to treat health ailments but also burned the tree’s wood to flavor food and to purify the air.
Today, eucalyptus essential oil, which is extracted from the blue gum tree, has a distinct, stimulating smell that clears the head and is mostly used in cough and cold remedies. It is also a potent antiseptic that kills airborne germs and has a cooling effect when rubbed onto the body, which can help soothe aches and pains.

When used in aromatherapy, eucalyptus essential oil has valuable decongestant properties, which combat symptoms of influenza, coughs, colds, fever and sinus problems. The aroma also can help clear and stimulate the mind.

Here are five unique, everyday uses for eucalyptus essential oil, along with some recipes to try.

Moreover, when adults get the measles, the symptoms are magnified a hundred times.
