3. Improves Seasonal Allergies
Seasonal allergies like hay fever can affect how someone views their life and how they interact with other people. Suffering from hay fever symptoms like congestion, sore eyes and constant sneezing can leave a person feeling like they don’t want to go out at all.
Eucalyptus oil could be the lifeline that hay fever sufferers have been looking for. When taken daily as an oral drop, or applied as a vapor rub, eucalyptus oil has the potential to improve the symptoms faced by an allergy sufferer. It would be unrealistic to expect an essential oil to cure the allergy completely, but the benefits cannot be ignored.
Aboriginal people, who have used eucalyptus oil for many centuries, still burn the freshly cut leaves and inhale the fumes as a way of ensuring their respiratory systems stay opened up and unblocked. When was the last time you heard an old Aboriginal tale about hay fever? Probably never.
