Many people wonder if it is safe to diffuse and inhale eucalyptus oil.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that, for most people, it is <strong>perfectly safe to diffuse and inhale eucalyptus oil.<\/strong> In fact, diffusing eucalyptus oil has a wide variety of health benefits. We should note that <strong>orally consuming eucalyptus oil is toxic<\/strong> to humans and many animals. While some other types of essential oils can be consumed, eucalyptus oil should<strong> only<\/strong> be diffused.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pregnant women should avoid<\/strong> diffusing and inhaling essential oils during their first trimester. During the early stages of pregnancy, essential oils may cause uterine contractions so be sure to <strong>consult with your doctor.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In general, it is best to avoid all aromatherapy until the second and third trimesters. During these later stages, eucalyptus oil is <strong>generally considered safe<\/strong> for mother and baby. While eucalyptus oil can be beneficial during pregnancy, other essential oils should be avoided. When in doubt, <strong>ask your doctor or healthcare professional<\/strong> for essential oil recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Eucalyptus oil aromatherapy is also <strong>not recommended for children or babies.<\/strong> This is because young children are more sensitive to the effects of aromatherapy. The adult body can handle and process more substantial exposures to essential oils. However, children's small bodies are much <strong>more susceptible to the effects<\/strong> of the essential oil, including eucalyptus oil.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5993\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Top-7.jpg\" alt=\"Top 7 Eucalyptus Oil Benefits and Uses_Top 7\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Top-7.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Top-7-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Top-7-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Top-7-192x96.jpg 192w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Top-7-384x192.jpg 384w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Top-7-561x281.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Top-7-364x182.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Top-7-758x379.jpg 758w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Top-7-608x304.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Top-7-313x157.jpg 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Top 7 Eucalyptus Oil Benefits and Uses<\/h3>\n<p>Eucalyptus essential oil is versatile, and it has many different health benefits. While the list is nearly endless, here are our top seven benefits and uses of eucalyptus oil.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Cough_Relief\"><\/span>1. Cough Relief<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Kick that cough you can't get rid of. Eucalyptus oil is a common ingredient in many conventional, over-the-counter cough medicines. Try making a salve to spread on your neck with diluted eucalyptus oil to relieve a stubborn cough. You can place a few drops in a diffuser or simply a bowl of warm water.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Phlegm\"><\/span>2. Phlegm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Eucalyptus doesn't just help reduce coughing, it can also help loosen phlegm. Diffusing eucalyptus and inhaling the essential oil can help loosen mucus, making your coughing more productive.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_All_Natural_Bug_Repellent\"><\/span>3. All Natural Bug Repellent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Citronella isn't the only scent that repels bugs &#8211; eucalyptus does too! Many bug sprays are filled with harsh chemicals, like DEET. Eucalyptus essential oil is a great, all-natural alternative that can help keep those pesky &#8216;skeeters away!<\/p>\n<h2>4. Clean & Disinfect<\/h2>\n<p>Because eucalyptus is<strong> naturally antibacterial<\/strong>, it is a great way to help disinfect and clean wounds. Eucalyptus has been used historically to treat wounds. Diluted oil or special eucalyptus creams can help treat minor burns and injuries and prevent infections.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Freshen_Breath\"><\/span>5. Freshen Breath<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Eucalyptus can also be used to freshen your breath naturally. The antibacterial properties of eucalyptus make it a perfect option for<strong> killing the germs<\/strong> in your mouth. Make a diluted solution of 5 drops of eucalyptus oil in 8 oz of water and gargle for 15 &#8211; 20 seconds. Make sure you spit all of the solutions out and rinse your mouth thoroughly. <strong>You should not ingest the eucalyptus oil.<\/strong> This gargle help to kill the bacteria that cause bad breath.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Pain_Relief\"><\/span>6. Pain Relief<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Eucalyptus oil can also help soothe achy joints. The oil has <strong>natural anti-inflammatory properties.<\/strong> Opt for creams or lotions that contain eucalyptus oil to help ease joint pain or tense muscles.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Allergy_Relief\"><\/span>7. Allergy Relief<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Eucalyptus oil may also help reduce allergy symptoms. While the oil helps loosen mucus, which can lead to more relaxed breathing, it can help block the symptoms of asthma. This may not be an effective solution for those who are allergic to eucalyptus oil, so make sure you <strong>listen to how your body responds<\/strong> to this treatment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5994\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Essential-Oils.jpg\" alt=\"Top 7 Eucalyptus Oil Benefits and Uses_Essential Oils\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Essential-Oils.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Essential-Oils-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Essential-Oils-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Essential-Oils-192x96.jpg 192w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Essential-Oils-384x192.jpg 384w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Essential-Oils-561x281.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Essential-Oils-364x182.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Essential-Oils-758x379.jpg 758w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Essential-Oils-608x304.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Essential-Oils-313x157.jpg 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What Essential Oils Help You Sleep?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/sleep-hygiene-what-you-need-to-do-to-finally-get-the-good-nights-sleep-you-deserve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Falling asleep<\/a> at night can feel like a daunting challenge. We live in a world filled with blue light-emitting technology that disrupts our natural sleep patterns. We live hectic lives with packed schedules. It's no wonder that <strong>many of us struggle to fall asleep<\/strong> at night. If you find it hard to shut your mind off at bedtime, you may want to consider aromatherapy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diffusing_essential_oils_before_and_during_bedtime_can_help_ease_tensions_and_soothe_your_mind\"><\/span>Diffusing essential oils <strong>before and during bedtime<\/strong> can help ease tensions and soothe your mind.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Eucalyptus oil is a calming essential oil that can <strong>help you fall asleep and stay asleep<\/strong> throughout the night.<\/p>\n<p>But eucalyptus oil isn't the only essential oil that promotes better sleep. In fact, many essential oils can help relax your body and get you ready for a good night's rest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/lavender-oil-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lavender essential oil<\/a> also has excellent soothing properties. It is one of the most commonly used essential oils when it comes to relaxation and sleep. Lavender <strong>helps reduce anxiety\u00a0<\/strong>and it has natural sedative effects.<\/p>\n<p>But diffusing lavender essential oil isn't the only way you can maximize the health benefits. You can also find lotions, massage oils, and bath salts that contain lavender essential oil. Start a new bedtime routine by <strong>incorporating a little lavender essential oil<\/strong> to get you ready for a night of deep, restful sleep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sandalwood essential oil<\/strong> also helps you rest peacefully. Like lavender, sandalwood also <strong>helps to reduce anxiety and stress.<\/strong> For many people, it helps to calm the body and sedate the nervous system. This can help increase the amount of deep state, REM sleep that you get each night.<\/p>\n<p>However, <strong>pay attention to how your body reacts<\/strong> to the sandalwood scent. Sandalwood can also help promote attentive relaxation. Some people prefer to use sandalwood to <strong>calm anxious nerves<\/strong> throughout the day. You may find that sandalwood is more ideal for a contemplative meditation session versus a nighttime sleep aid.<\/p>\n<p>Scientific studies show that <strong>jasmine essential oil<\/strong> can also be used to increase sleep quality. In fact, some studies show that jasmine is more effective at reducing anxiety than lavender. Jasmine can help promote a restful sleep by<strong> soothing the body<\/strong> throughout the night. Without the endless tossing and turning, you will wake up feeling refreshed and alert.<\/p>\n<p>Other essential oils can also help promote sleep. There isn't one solution that works best for everyone. The key is<strong> finding the scent that works best with your body<\/strong> to help you find sweet, restful dreams at night.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5990\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Kill-Bacteria.jpg\" alt=\"Top 7 Eucalyptus Oil Benefits and Uses_Kill Bacteria\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Kill-Bacteria.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Kill-Bacteria-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Kill-Bacteria-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Kill-Bacteria-192x96.jpg 192w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Kill-Bacteria-384x192.jpg 384w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Kill-Bacteria-561x281.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Kill-Bacteria-364x182.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Kill-Bacteria-758x379.jpg 758w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Kill-Bacteria-608x304.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Kill-Bacteria-313x157.jpg 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Does Eucalyptus Oil Kill Bacteria?<\/h3>\n<p>Eucalyptus oil is<strong> extracted from the leaves of certain eucalyptus tree species.<\/strong> Eucalyptus trees are primarily native to Australia and Tasmania, but they can also be found on nearby islands. Over 500 different species of eucalyptus trees are known, but the essential oil is mainly extracted from only two species: the <strong>Eucalyptus salicifolia<\/strong> and the <strong>Eucalyptus globulus.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eucalyptus essential oil isn't just good for your body; it can also be used to<strong> purify your home and kill harmful bacteria<\/strong> that linger in hard-to-clean areas.<\/p>\n<p>Eucalyptus oil is <strong>naturally antibacterial and anti-fungal.<\/strong> Try diluting 10 to 20 drops of eucalyptus essential oil with water in a spray bottle. You can use this spray to disinfect your home and help reduce environmental allergens. If you live in a damp or humid environment, eucalyptus oil can also <strong>help inhibit the growth of mold.<\/strong> Adding diffused eucalyptus oil to your cleaning routine can replace some cleaners with harsh, synthetic chemicals.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5989\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Inhale.jpg\" alt=\"Top 7 Eucalyptus Oil Benefits and Uses_Inhale\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Inhale.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Inhale-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Inhale-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Inhale-192x96.jpg 192w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Inhale-384x192.jpg 384w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Inhale-561x281.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Inhale-364x182.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Inhale-758x379.jpg 758w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Inhale-608x304.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Top-7-Eucalyptus-Oil-Benefits-and-Uses_Inhale-313x157.jpg 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>How Long Should I Diffuse Essential Oils?<\/h3>\n<p>Diffusing essential oils can seem like more of an art, rather than a science. But there are some <strong>general guidelines that you should follow.<\/strong> Depending on what type of diffuser you opt for, you might find that the unit comes with directions for diffusing.<\/p>\n<p>In general, you should only need to <strong>diffuse an essential oil for about 15 to 20 minutes.<\/strong> This gives the oil plenty of time to saturate a room without becoming overbearing. You should only need about <strong>three to five drops of oil<\/strong> to achieve the best results.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that these guidelines <strong>may need to be tweaked<\/strong> depending on your environment. Temperature and humidity impact the saturation levels of vaporized essential oils. The longevity of scents may also be affected by HVAC systems. If you have an <strong>air conditioner<\/strong> continually blasting in the summer, it <strong>may draw the oils out of the air quicker<\/strong> than expected.<\/p>\n<p>If you're considering adding eucalyptus to your essential oil portfolio, we <strong>highly recommend<\/strong> it. The list of health benefits and uses is nearly endless. It may even help you finally get that good night's rest that you've always been looking for. Remember that essential oils are<strong> versatile.<\/strong> While eucalyptus alone may be enough for some people, you can also <strong>combine scents.<\/strong> Adding in lavender, sandalwood, or even jasmine can promote deep, restful sleep. Just remember that there are many oils available for different purposes. Find <strong>what works best for you<\/strong> to achieve a happy, healthy, and all-natural home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/pennstatehershey.adam.com\/content.aspx?productId=107&pid=33&gid=000241\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/pennstatehershey.adam.com\/content.aspx?productId=107&pid=33&gid=000241<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/essential-oil-diffusion-101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/essential-oil-diffusion-101<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/9-ways-eucalyptus-oil-can-help\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/9-ways-eucalyptus-oil-can-help<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health24.com\/Experts\/Question\/Can-inhaling-Eucalyptus-Oil-be-dangerous-20170907\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.health24.com\/Experts\/Question\/Can-inhaling-Eucalyptus-Oil-be-dangerous-20170907<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/draxe.com\/eucalyptus-oil-uses-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/draxe.com\/eucalyptus-oil-uses-benefits\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you been thinking about how you might benefit from eucalyptus aromatherapy?
