Eucalyptus Globulus is a wonderfully clearing, camphoraceous essentail oil. It is excellent for colds & chills. Australian Aborigines refer to the plant as ' Kino' & bind the leaves to serious wounds. Eucalyptus Globulus is extremely useful during the winter months. It can be very effective in a steam inhalation. Try adding 2 drops Eucalyptus, 1 drop Roman Chamomile & 1 drop Lavender to a bowl of just-boiled water. Lean over the bowl (not too close) with a towel covering your head & inhale the vapours for a few minutes. Alternatively, blend the same oils in two teaspoons of Sweet Almond oil & massage into the chest & back. Blended with Citronella or Cedarwood in an oil burner, Eucalyptus can help maintain an insect-free BBQ! Alternatively, try the lemon-scented Eucalyptus Citriodora as a very powerful natural insect-repellent.
