Eucalyptus Globulus Essential Oil

Eucalyptus globulus is widely used as a decongestant inhalation for colds and catarrh, but it has many other lesser known uses. Most important of these is its very powerful bactericidal and anti-viral action. A steam inhalation with eucalyptus globulus is an effective natural treatment for colds, because it not only eases nasal congestion, but inhibits proliferation of the cold virus.

In North Africa, groves of eucalyptus trees have been planted in swampy and unhealthy areas to prevent the spread of Malaria. Eucalyptus is an effective insect repellent, which deters mosquitoes from breeding in the area immediately around the trees, it acts in more than one way towards this end. Produced by steam distillation of the leaves, water white to pale yellow in colour and of a pourable viscosity.
