January can be a tricky month with colds, coughs and other viruses still doing the rounds. That's why I want to introduce you to a powerful essential oil; Eucalyptus. Often known for its decongestant properties, Eucalyptus can be used to support the body in so many other ways too.
A steam inhalation using Eucalyptus not only helps clear congestion, it also helps reduce the spread of the virus. To ease a cough, mix Eucalyptus in a carrier oil (like grapeseed or almond) with Myrrh and Himalayan Cedarwood and rub into the chest. This will help ease the coughing and relax the muscles.
Mixing Eucalyptus with Peppermint in a vaporizer can help lift your mood and used in a room spray, it can help prevent the spread of illnesses due to its antibacterial and antiviral properties.
It really is an impressive essential oil and one to have it your winter health kit.
If you're feeling like you could use some TLC, why not book in for an aromatherapy massage with me? I'll mix a blend of essential oils specific to your needs in the moment to help you go away feeling rejuvenated. Click the link in my bio for more details and booking information.
