Isn’t it great when there is sickness in the home, and you are able to cure your cold naturally at home with the power of plant based medicine? Did you know that healing with essential oils is stronger and more potent than loose leaf herbs? For example, when properly distilled, just a few drops of peppermint oil have all the healing properties of many pounds of the herb in loose leaf form! Peppermint is not alone, with Eucalyptus being equally strong and coming with multiple anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal AND anti-inflammatory properties!
The beauty of this versatile oil is that it addresses a lengthy list of ailments (see below) in a variety of ways. If you own the concentrated oil, be sure to have a base like coconut or olive oil to mix the oil into for topical applications. For inhalation methods, our own eucalyptus oil spray will be very helpful.
Here is a great list of uses and benefits of eucalyptus oil that every parent and family should read and know about! And please, pass this on to your friends and family, as we know that a healthy planet, begins with being informed!

Because of the vasodilation mention above, using eucalyptus on a daily basis can increase circulation, a common issue for diabetics. I recommend massaging it into the body with lotion after each shower, as the massage will also help increase circulation.
