BENEFITS backed by SCIENCE
Clears colds & congestion – Rich in 1,8 cineole, Eucalyptus has proven expectorant and decongestant effects. Inhalation supports recovery from flu and respiratory distress, with studies showing significant improvement in patients treated with Eucalyptus inhalations (Ulmer & Schott, 1991; Price & Price, 2017).
Boosts focus & clears the air – Inhalation reduces mental fatigue, improves cognitive performance, and increases cerebral blood flow (Buchbauer, 1996; Moss & Oliver, 2012). As an air purifier, Eucalyptus sprays kill up to 70% of airborne staphylococci, refreshing both body and space (Tisserand, The Art of Aromatherapy).
Fights acne & supports skin health – With antimicrobial and sebum-regulating effects, Eucalyptus reduces oiliness, acne, and Candida overgrowth. Studies confirm its ability to inhibit sebaceous activity and calm inflamed skin (Bhatt et al., 2011; Kordali et al., 2005).
Eucalyptus' Story
Eucalyptus’s personality is cool, rational and quite centered. Most often you wouldn’t spot him in a crowd as he likes keeping a low profile. However, if he is in the room, he has the ability to diffuse conflicts by his calm and logical reasoning. People report that in his presence, they feel clear-headed, liberated and can breathe better. If you need a friend to push you to concentrate and finish a task with focus, Eucalyptus is the one to call. For extra tough situations, he may bring along Peppermint and Lemon too- they really do want the best for you!
Surprisingly immune to both fits of irrationality as well as bacterial and viral diseases, Eucalyptus seems to have been born with an ability to protect. He seems to be boring and predictable in love, and chooses his partner based on well-thought lists. He prefers someone who will compliment him well and not make too many waves in the relationship. Short, simple and sweet, right?
