Eucalyptus Radiata
eucalyptus radiata {10ml}
Product Summary
Eucalyptus Radiata is primarily an essential oil for the respiratory system as it has good anticatarrhal properties. It is a powerful expectorant and mucolytic with good ability for fluidification. Eucalyptus Radiata has long lasting effects and is particularly indicated for children.*
Eucalyptus Radiata has good infection-fighting properties for both acute and chronic respiratory infections, and is effective for the flu. Its high content of 1,8 cineole makes it a good choice for diffusion into a room when someone has a respiratory infection.*
Eucalyptus Radiata is also a cooling essential oil due to its high concentration of 1,8 cineole. This gives it the ability to control a fever.*
Eucalyptus Radiata is a strong antiseptic, yet it is non-toxic. A good anti-viral and an energizer to the body, it can be very effective in cases of chronic fatigue and immune deficiency.*

Uses
- Make a chest rub with Eucalyptus Radiata, Tea Tree, and Lavender. Put 5 drops of each into 1 ounce of Grape Seed Oil and massage over the lung area. If there is also ear congestion you can massage a small amount around the ear. (Do not drop essential oils directly into the ear.)*
- Eucalyptus Radiata blends well with Tea Tree and the two can be diffused together in a child’s room when they are congested and can’t sleep. Diffuse for 15 minutes, repeating every 2 to 3 hours.*
- Mix 10 to 12 drops in warm water for a soothing, cooling bath to relieve aching muscles.*
