Essential Oil is a concentrated liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from the Eucalyptus Globulus tree. It is usually distilled, sometimes pressed or solvent extracted. Eucalyptus Essential Oil is said to be antibacterial, disinfectant and analgesic. It has been used to relieve coughs, colds and other such respiratory ailments. It soothes muscle and joint pain and helps heal wounds, burns and insect bites. In aromatherapy, eucalyptus is said to promote activity, vitality and energy.

For respiratory problems, a few drops of this oil can be placed on a cloth, inhaled through the mouth and exhaled through the nose for half a minute. It is applied directly to wounds, rashes and insect bites. Add a few drops to your bath water to feel refreshed. Soak your sore feet in a footbath with 4-5 drops of this oil for relief. A few drops of oil in a diffuser is said to kill microbes and airborne bacteria; a great idea for a sickroom.

Essential oils were believed to have played a role in healing during ancient times in Egypt, China and other parts of the world. They are said to be the oldest form of medicine and cosmetics, as they are distilled from plants, do not involve complicated processes or machinery, but are still an art. For their healing and aromatic properties, they were considered more valuable than gold to the ancients.
