The guide from Loving Essential Oils delves into the benefits of eucalyptus oil for respiratory support, pointing to its ability to reduce mucus and open the airways. When diffused for aromatherapy purposes, eucalyptus can support you in taking deeper breaths, helping to loosen any phlegm and ease congestion. Ahh, sweet oxygen! Eucalyptus is also well known for its energy-boosting properties, reducing your fatigue and improving concentration.
The guide highlights four popular eucalyptus oils, differentiated by their distinct aromas. Eucalyptus Dives, for example, has a strong minty scent whereas Eucalyptus Globulus is more well known for its soft woody undertones. Remember that eucalyptus oils rich in cineole, such as Eucalyptus Globulus, are not recommended for children under ten years old and should never be taken orally.

So where do you start? Luckily, the team at Loving Essential Oils has provided a comprehensive list of eucalyptus diffuser blend recipes and their corresponding benefits. Looking to emulate a tranquil spa feel? No problem! You should blend lavender, eucalyptus and sandalwood for the ultimate relaxed aroma. What if you're after a more energy-boosting blend? Then you should try mixing grapefruit, eucalyptus, frankincense and ylang-ylang, says the guide.
To help promote relaxation and sleep, the team suggests a blend of lavender, cedarwood, eucalyptus and Roman chamomile. “Eucalyptus may not be listed as a sleep essential oil,” states Loving Essential Oils, “but it can reduce coughing and congestion. When you are breathing easier, it can promote a good night’s sleep.”
As part of their safety guidelines, Loving Essential Oils recommends intermittent diffusion, limiting use to 30-60 minutes at a time. When using essential oils topically, make sure you dilute them with a carrier oil, such as sweet almond oil, before applying the skin. “Using essential oils can improve a person’s emotional, physical, and mental state," they explain. "For best results, make sure you use pure essential oils and learn how to use them properly.”
