How awesome is Eucalyptus? It opens breathing, dispels melancholy, revives the spirit, and enhances a positive outlook! EUCALYPTUS Eucalyptus Radiata Eucalyptus is an evergreen tree that grows to a height of 100 meters (328 feet), making it one of the world’s tallest trees. It has leathery lancelet leaves of a pale blue-green color, and small white flowers, which, in bud, are covered by a cap-like membrane. It is the presence of this “lid” which has led to the tree’s common name, derived from the Greek eucalyptos, meaning “well-covered”. (There are over 700 varieties of eucalyptus.) Radiata is narrow-leaved Eucalyptus that is very effective for viral infections; a close relative of Melaleuca family (Myrtaceae) with many of the same actions and benefits. Its pungent and camphoraceous aroma can be seen at work through its unparalleled ability to clear lung-phlegm. Its antibacterial, antiviral action makes it useful, in addition, for the common cold, sinusitis, laryngitis, and chronic bronchitis. Diffused, it is a wonderful lung tonic that enhances breathing function, promoting the uptake of oxygen by the red blood cells. Eucalyptus Radiata: Analgesic, anti-bacterial, anti-catarrhal, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, antiviral, decongestant and expectorant. Great for acne recovery, endometriosis, flu, hay fever, sinusitis and vaginitis; can prevent asthma attacks and stimulates the regeneration of lung tissue. The germicidal action of Eucalyptus Oil extends to the genitor-urinary system, where it is indicated for cystitis and leucorrhoea. Its value in such conditions is enhanced by its ability to clear the dampness or congestive terrain where unfriendly microbes (bacterial and viral) love to multiply and grow unhealthy conditions. Eucalyptus clears out sticky areas so that regular oxygenation can go on and healthy cell reproduction is enhanced. Boosts the immune system by providing ongoing clearing of many bacteria that cause compromise. Psychologically, Eucalyptus Oil is suited to people who feel emotionally “hemmed-in” or constricted by their surroundings - whether at home, at work, or in society. They sense the possibility of achieving the greater freedom and a wider life experience, but dare not seek to create this due to excessive caution, habit, fear or responsibility. Eucalyptus can support transformation from a sense of suffocation into one of expansive renewal.
