Oil of the Week!!!
Eucalyptus "Blue Gum"- Eucalyptus Globulus:
Eucalyptus Globulus, also known as Eucalyptus Blue Gum, has a woody, fresh, camphoraceous aroma. The essential oil has antiviral, antibacterial, and anti fungal properties and is known for its ability to clear respiratory congestion. It is helpful for colds, flu, and coughs. It improves circulation and relieves muscle and joint aches. It is useful to disinfect the air. Eucalyptus Blue Gum cools, refreshes, clears, and energizes the mind. Mix this with some cedar wood oil in jojoba or coconut oil and apply to sore muscles or use as a chest rub to help clear congestion. This blend can also be helpful for asthma and other respiratory issues.
Put a couple of drops in the bottom of your trash can when you change the bag and prevent unpleasant odors. You can also add a few drops to the filter or bag of your vacuum and add a fresh scent to the home while doing your regular vacuuming.
Aromatically, it has some interesting psychological benefits too. In particular, it relates to a person's willingness to be well. Many people may think that everyone desires to be well, but don't acknowledge the often underlying patterns that keep us perpetuating illness. It might be out of a lack of self-love, feelings of "selfishness", hypochondria, or even a lesson that many people learn that says illness is what gains you love and attention. Eucalyptus oil uses may then include helping a person regain their own health empowerment, self-approval and self-love, release patterns of neediness to those who can't or aren't willing to love or care for them, and even move past patterns that keep a person in a role of victim to people or circumstances.
So diffuse this one in the home to set yourself on the path to well-being both mentally and physically. Eucalyptus Blue Gum is truly an "essential" oil.
