My Top 5 Uses For Eucalyptus Essential Oil

There are a TON of great uses for Eucalyptus Essential Oil. I have found that it’s a lifesaver with a child for various ailments and problems that can occur. I decided to share my top 5 uses for Eucalyptus Essential Oil.  

Because I’m a mom, all of these uses are important to me, and in my top 5, because my son benefits from them.  There is seriously nothing worse than watching your child suffer from various ailments and all parents, or those close to children, know what I mean!  These are also good uses to help you out when you have to care for a little one.  Parents don’t really get to take sick days.

Sinus Problems

Apply as a hot compress over the sinuses (I usually add a drop of eucalyptus essential oil to a warm washcloth) and massage 1-2 drops into the reflex points of the feet (mainly the toes and pads of the feet). You can also inhale directly or diffuse throughout the room.

Lice

My son is going into third grade and anyone with school age children know how often the “your child may have come into contact with lice” notices go home. Its natural insecticidal properties make this among one of the more surprising uses of eucalyptus oil.

Ear Inflammation

Massage the oil on and around the outer ear. Use only 1 drop to start, diluted for children. Never apply oil into the inner ear. Ever.  I have been lucky that Jacob has only ever had one ear infection, but it was a double ear infection and it burst (ick).  Every so often he complains of ear aches and this seems to help soothe him.

Congestion

Eucalyptus oil uses include clearing congestion from the airways. I recommend inhaling for nasal congestion and massaging the oil over all other affected areas.  I usually dilute the Eucalyptus Essential Oil and then rub it into his chest.  Not only does this help clear the airways, he gets better sleep with the assistance.

Fever

Because eucalyptus oil uses include cooling the body, using during a high fever can help the body regulate its temperature and support its efforts in fighting infection.
