Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus can be used for aches associated with a cold, flu or minor muscle injuries; also for congestion. When diffused, it is thought to stimulate the senses, in addition to clearing the nasal passages. Used much like Vick's VapoRub and applying to skin, take a few drops and mix with a teaspoon of a carrier oil, then rub it on your back, chest and feet bottoms.

Suffering from Allergies?

Allergy suffers know what can set them off. Unfortunately, it isn't just spring but it can happen all year long. 
For congestion or allergies: If older than 5, use fir, chamomile, eucalyptus and peppermint. For those 5 or younger, use orange, cypress, fir and cinnamon. Diffused or diluted in a carrier oil such as coconut oil and rubbed on the chest or feet can help.
