Eucalyptus is the go-to oil for anyone with sinus congestion. One whiff and many people with a blocked nose will want to hold the bottle and keep sniffing as it's such a powerful decongestant. It has a sharp and slightly medicinal and will remind some of Vicks vapour rub which contains Eucalyptus oil.

Research has shown Eucalyptus essential oil has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties which can be supportive to human health. As well as easing coughs, colds, headaches and sinus pain, Eucalyptus has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties which make it useful for digestive health.

In winter, I like to use it in a balm to help with coughs and colds. The balm also contains Ravensara, Spike Lavender, Jojoba oil, Honey and Beeswax and can be rubbed into the chest if you start to feel yourself, or notice one of your children developing a cough or cold. 

Finally, 3 drops of this powerful oil can be very effectively combined with Lime (1 drop), Lemon (2 drops) and Douglas Fir Needle (3 drops) oils in a diffuser to bring fresh air to any room, no matter how pungent - a potential life-saver for those of you with teens!
