Eucalyptus Globulus
 
 
What a pungent aroma!  Eucalyptus Globulus has been used traditionally for ailments of the respiratory system, for stopping
the spread of malaria (through planting trees), and to help the body in its defense of microbes.  Australian Aborigines have
used the leaves as a disinfectant to cover wounds.
 
Research has shown eucalyptus to be effective as an insect repellant (Trigg, 1996) and to kill airborne staph bacteria (Valnet).
 
I like to put a few drops of eucalyptus in my hot stones cooker between massages (after cleaning the stones).  It freshens the
air in the massage room and it ‘sanitizes’ the stones.  I also diffuse it in our bedroom when one of us has been exposed to
someone with a respiratory ailment.
 
I often just open the bottle and sniff – eucalyptus helps to clear my sinuses.  I have rubbed it on my throat when it is sore.  If I get
a stuffy nose (especially after a long day at the barn), I sniff some regularly and even put a little just under my nose.
