Eucalyptus Essential Oil
- In stock, ready to ship
The one that actually works when you're stuffed up.
Eucalyptus is not complicated. It clears your head, eases sore muscles, and makes stale rooms smell like somewhere you'd want to be. That's it. No elaborate origin story, no trendy wellness angle. Just steam-distilled eucalyptus globulus doing what it's done for generations.
The scent hits immediately. Sharp, clean, camphor-forward. If you've ever used a vapor rub when you were sick, you know this smell. The difference is this is pure essential oil, not a synthetic version suspended in petroleum jelly.
"Some essential oils are for setting a mood. Eucalyptus is for when you can't breathe. I've had a bottle on my nightstand for twenty years. It's never once let me down at 2am."
Why You'll Love It
- Clears Congestion: Add a few drops to a bowl of steaming water, tent a towel over your head, breathe. The old method. Still the best method.
- Eases Muscle Tension: Dilute with jojoba or another carrier oil and massage into sore spots. The cooling sensation helps more than you'd expect.
- Freshens Air: A few drops in your diffuser or oil burner cuts through staleness fast. Also useful in DIY cleaning mixes.
- Sharpens Focus: That camphor note does something for mental fog. Not magic, just... clarifying.
How to Use It
Diffuser or oil burner: 3 to 5 drops. Eucalyptus is strong. Start light.
Steam inhalation: 3 to 5 drops in a bowl of hot water. Towel over head, eyes closed, breathe slowly through your nose.
Topical: Mix 1 to 2 drops per tablespoon of carrier oil. Never apply essential oils undiluted.
Bath: 5 to 8 drops mixed into carrier oil or bath salts first. Oil floats; you don't want concentrated eucalyptus sitting on the water's surface against your skin.
Goes Well With
- Peppermint Essential Oil for doubling down on the clearing effect. Together they're more effective than either alone.
- Organic Jojoba Oil for dilution. Any topical use needs a carrier, and jojoba absorbs clean without leaving you slick.
- Soapstone Oil Burner Lamp if you prefer flame and stone over electric diffusers. Slower release, better atmosphere.
Clear your head. The old-fashioned way.
