How to use
Eucalyptus Essential Oil has many useful applications. See how you can use it...
NOTE: Before using the oil, do a patch test (read instructions below).
General Instructions
Patch Test First!
Before using any essential oil "neat" (undiluted), do a patch test first. Put a few drops on the back of your wrist or the inside of the elbow and cover with a bandaid. Leave for an hour or more. If irritation or redness occurs, bathe the area with a carrier OIL (e.g. olive oil, safflower oil, Neways' Mixing Oil - NOT water! Water will drive the essential oil deeper into the skin); wipe off and bathe the area again; wipe off and bathe the area again. Do NOT re-cover with a bandaid, but allow air exposure to the tested area for quicker healing. For future use, either reduce the concentration of the essential oil tested by half or more, or avoid it altogether.
You can do the same Patch Test with essential oils that you have diluted (mixed in solution, e.g. with Neways' Mixing Oil or Tangible® Massage Lotion).
Direct "Neat" (Undiluted) Application: "Neat" (undiluted) Lavender Essential Oil and Tea Tree Essential Oil may be applied directly to skin, but Neways recommends diluting all other essential oils. This is especially important for first-time users, children and those with sensitive skin.
A General Note About Using Essential Oils: Western merchandising has stereotypically perpetuated a "more is better" conditioning upon society. Not so with essential oils. Small amounts are able to be effective. Western culture has also perpetuated the "prescription formula" approach - for example, take 3, 3 times a day. Not so with essential oils. Because essential oils are liquid, lipophilic, volatile, aromatic and comprised of very small molecules giving them greater mobility into and within the body, there may be more than one way to effectively use a particular oil.
Starting out, the most important thing is to make sure the essential oils you use on the body are 100% pure, genuine and unadulterated - Neways' are, guaranteed! (Then you know that you are working with the essential oil itself and not with the chemicals and chemical reactions with which it has been adulterated.)
Storage
Store essential oils in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
Keep out of reach of children!
Caution
Never put essential oils in the eyes or the ears. If you accidentally do, use Neways' Mixing Oil to dilute. Never rinse the area with water as water forces the oil deeper into the tissues.
Do not use essential oils internally.

Detailed product description
It has been reported by Dr. Jean Valnet, a French physician, who had extensive success treating a wide range of illnesses with essential oils, that a low percentage (2%) of Eucalyptus Essential Oil sprayed/diffused into the air will eliminate 70 percent of the staph bacteria that is airborne. In Africa, groves of Eucalyptus trees have been planted to stop the spread of malaria. Read more about Eucaliptus...

Eucaliptus
Botanical name: Eucalyptus globulus
Parts used and where grown
Eucalyptus is an evergreen tree native to Australia but is cultivated worldwide. The plant's leaves-and the oil that is steam-distilled from them-are used medicinally.1
Eucalyptus has been used in connection with the following conditions (refer to the individual health concern for complete information):
| ** | Insect repellant (topical) |
| * | Athletic performance (topical) Bronchitis Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Common cold Cough Genital herpes (topical) Infection Low back pain Rheumatism (topical use) Rheumatoid arthritis (oil, topical) Sinus congestion Sinusitis |
*** Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit. ** Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit. * For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support and/or minimal health benefit. |
Historical or traditional use (may or may not be supported by scientific studies)
Eucalyptus was first used by Australian aborigines, who not only chewed the roots for water in the dry outback but used the leaves as a remedy for fevers. In the 1800s, crew members of an Australian freighter developed high fevers, but were able to successfully cure their condition using eucalyptus tea. Thus, eucalyptus became well known throughout Europe and the Mediterranean as the Australian fever tree. Early 19th century Eclectic physicians in the United States not only used eucalyptus oil to sterilize instruments and wounds, but recommended a steam inhalation of the vapour of its oil to help treat asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough, and emphysema. 2
Active constituents
The major constituent in eucalyptus leaves is a volatile oil known as eucalyptol (1,8-cineol). In order to provide an effective expectorant and antiseptic action, the leaf oil should contain approximately 70-85% eucalyptol.3 Eucalyptus oil is said to function in a fashion similar to that of menthol by acting on receptors in the nasal mucosa, leading to a reduction in symptoms such as nasal congestion.4 In test tube studies, eucalyptus species have been shown to possess antibacterial actions against such organisms as Bacillus subtilis,5 as well as several strains of Streptococcus.6 These actions have not been researched in human clinical trials.
Peppermint (10 grams) and eucalyptus oil (5 grams) in combination, applied topically to the forehead and temples for three minutes with a small sponge, have been shown to be helpful as a muscle relaxant (but not for pain relief) in people with tension headaches.7 A eucalyptus oil extract containing 50% p-methane-3,8-diol (PMD) as the active ingredient has been shown to be effective in protecting human volunteers from various types of biting insects.8 On human forearms, it was determined that the eucalyptus extract was nearly as effective as a 20% solution of diethyltoluamine (used in many insect repellents) in repelling bites of the Anopheles mosquito (the insect that spreads malaria) for up to five hours. The eucalyptus extract was also effective at repelling flies (94%) and midges (100%) for up to six hours.
A preliminary study suggests the combination of eucalyptus and menthol as a nasal inhalant is helpful in cases of mild to moderate snoring.9 Also, in a double-blind trial, a eucalyptus-based rub was found helpful for warming muscles in athletes.10 This further suggests eucalyptus may help relieve minor muscle soreness when applied topically, though studies are needed to confirm this possibility.
How much is usually taken?
Eucalyptus oil (0.05-0.2 ml per day) can be taken internally by adults.11 It should always be diluted in warm water before consuming. For local applications, 30 ml of the oil can be mixed in 500 ml of lukewarm water and applied topically as an insect repellent or used over the temporal areas of the forehead for tension headaches. As an inhalant, add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to hot water or a vaporizer. Deeply inhale the steam vapour. For eucalyptus leaf preparations, an infusion of 2-3 grams of the chopped leaves may be boiled in 150 ml of water and taken two times per day. Eucalyptus oil needs to be used very cautiously since as little as 3.5 ml of the oil taken internally has proven fatal.12 It is best for people to discuss internal use with a qualified healthcare professional.
Warning: Eucalyptus oil needs to be used very cautiously since as little as 3.5 ml of the oil taken internally has proven fatal. It is best for individuals to discuss internal use with a qualified healthcare professional.
Are there any side effects or interactions?
Side effects from the internal use of eucalyptus can include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Eucalyptus oil should not be used by infants and children under the age of two, especially near the face and nose, due to the risk of airway spasm and possible cessation of breathing.13 The oil may aggravate bronchial spasms in people with asthma and should not be taken internally by those with severe liver diseases and inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and kidney.14 15 Whole-body application of eucalyptus oil (double-distilled, containing 80-85% cineole oil) resulted in severe nervous system toxicity in a six year old girl. 16 Parents are advised to use topical eucalyptus oil in moderation with children.
Although there are no known reports of drug interactions, the German Commission E monograph suggests that because eucalyptus oil may activate certain enzyme systems in the liver, it may potentially weaken or shorten the action of some medications, including pentobarbital, aminopyrine, and amphetamine.17 18 Eucalyptus should not be used in large amounts by people with low blood pressure as it may cause a further drop in blood pressure.19 The safety of eucalyptus oil has not been established in pregnant or nursing women.
At the time of writing, there were no well-known drug interactions with eucalyptus.
