Whether you use oils for aromatherapy, personal<br />

care or household solutions, in every aspect of daily<br />

life there are -<br />

1000’s of uses for<br />

For Day to Day living<br />

Practical<br />

Uses & Recipes<br />

Eucalyptus, lemon, lavender, Orange, Peppermint,<br />

Tea Tree


8. FLEES<br />

For flees…add a few drops to your dogs bath water or shampoo.<br />

9. BACTERIA<br />

For spas, bathtubs, hot tubs…add a few drops to the water and clean with it to prevent bacteria.<br />

.NATURAL HOME CARE<br />

Not only does eucalyptus give a nice, fresh fragrance to your home products, but it adds vital anti-microbial<br />

properties as well. You can’t go wrong putting several drops into pretty much everything: soap, laundry<br />

detergent, mop water, toilet cleaner, window cleaner … the list goes on!<br />

11. ODOR REMOVAL<br />

Whether you’re battling smelly shoes or a stinky dog bed, topically wash items to remove odours with a wet<br />

rag soaked in eucalyptus oil-infused water, and place outside to dry in the sun. This can prevent odours as<br />

well as keep the shape intact! You may also mix it with lemon oil or tea tree oil for an anti-stink spray.<br />

12. AIR CLEANSER<br />

Try putting a few drops into your vacuum and clothes dryer filters to freshen them up and sanitize them a<br />

little. Also, it’s great for killing mould in your home, and you can mix eucalyptus with other oils like clove<br />

and tea tree oil to cleanse the air and maintain a mould-free home.<br />

13 . SPOT REMOVER<br />

Like lemon essential oil, eucalyptus oil is highly effective at removing spots on your carpet, clothes and<br />

basically every fabric you have in the house. It even works to get gum off your shoes! Make sure to “test” it<br />

on an inconspicuous place first just to make sure the oil doesn’t react strangely with the material you treat.<br />

You just don’t know what’s in the synthetic materials nowadays!<br />

14. RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS<br />

Eucalyptus essential oil is highly effective for treating respiratory problems, such as asthma, bronchitis,<br />

COPD, pneumonia and even tuberculosis. Using eucalyptus for asthma is a proven treatment that dilates the<br />

blood vessels and allows more oxygen into the lungs. Simply mix eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil and coconut<br />

oil for a Homemade Vapor Rub, and put on upper chest.<br />

15. WOUND TREATMENT<br />

Eucalyptus oil has antimicrobial and antiseptic properties that are effective at treating wounds, burns, cuts,<br />

abrasions, sores and scrapes. It also can be made into a salve or healing ointment and put on bug bites and<br />

stings. Along with acting as a natural pain reliever to the area, it also keeps the area from getting infected,<br />

which speeds healing.<br />

The list goes on, but don’t forget to use eucalyptus on your pets! It’s proven to be safe in pretty much any<br />

way that you would use it on yourself. Just be sure to keep it out of eyes and any open wounds!<br />

PRACTICAL USES & RECIPES


EUCALYPTUS OIL BENEFITS<br />

Eucalyptus oil benefits are due to its ability to stimulate immunity,<br />

provide antioxidant protection and improve respiratory circulation.<br />

Originally referred to as “eucalyptol” by the scientific community,<br />

the health benefits of eucalyptus oil come from a chemical now<br />

known as cineole — an organic compound shown to hold<br />

astounding, widespread medicinal effects, including everything from<br />

reducing inflammation and pain to killing leukemia cells!<br />

At the time I wrote this article, over 1,200 scientific research studies<br />

were conducted referring to cineole, and the results are simply<br />

amazing.<br />

Although eucalyptus has the highest known cineole levels of any<br />

plant (up to 80–95 present), scientists have discovered that several<br />

other plants have significant levels of cineole as well:<br />

Medicine Cabinet<br />

Here’s what medicines you can replace with lemon essential oil.<br />

• Acne medication<br />

• Musinex<br />

• Chloroseptic<br />

• Pepto-Bismol<br />

• Children’s Tylenol


Provides a sense of Tranquility.<br />

Lavender (lavandula angustifolia) is the most versatile of all essential oils. Most commonly known for its<br />

relaxing effects on the body, therapeutic-grade lavender has been highly regarded for the skin. It may be<br />

used to cleanse cuts, bruises and skin irritations. The fragrance is calming, relaxing and balancing –<br />

physically and emotionally. Carrying a bottle of lavender a round with you is like having your own personal<br />

first aid kit, perfume and pick-me-up.<br />

1. CALMING<br />

Rub 2-3 drops of lavender oil in your cupped palms, then use the inhalation<br />

method to draw the scent all the way into your amygdala gland (the emotional<br />

warehouse) in your brain to calm the mind. Then, rub on the feet, temples,<br />

wrists (or anywhere) for an immediate calming effect on the body. Great for use<br />

in crowded areas like planes or subways to carve out your own personal oasis.<br />

2. SLEEP AID<br />

Again, use the cupping and inhalation method. Then, rub a drop of Lavender oil<br />

on your palms and smooth on your pillow to help you sleep.<br />

3. BEE STING / INSECT BITE<br />

Put a drop of Lavender oil on a bee sting or insect bite to stop itching reduce<br />

swelling.<br />

4. MINOR BURN<br />

Put 2-3 drops Lavender oil on a minor burn to decrease pain. I recently did this<br />

after I spilled scorching hot tea on my hand at Starbucks and luckily had my<br />

lavender with me. Result: NO redness, swelling or pain. NO sign of any burn.<br />

Lavender works wonders!<br />

PRACTICAL USES & RECIPES


5. CUTS<br />

Drop Lavender oil on cut to stop bleeding, clean wound, and kill bacteria.<br />

6. ECZEMA / DERMATITIS<br />

Mix several drops of Lavender oil with a nut or vegetable mixing oil (coconut, sesame, etc) and use<br />

topically on eczema and dermatitis. I have a dear friend who suffers from severe eczema and swears by<br />

this.<br />

7. NAUSEA OR MOTION SICKNESS<br />

To alleviate the symptoms of motion sickness, place a drop of Lavender oil on end of tongue, behind the<br />

ears or around the navel.<br />

8. NOSEBLEED<br />

To stop a nosebleed, put a drop of lavender oil on a tissue and wrap it around a small chip<br />

of ice. Push the tissue covered ice chip up under the middle<br />

of the top lip to the base of the nose and hold as long as<br />

comfortable or until the bleeding stops (do not freeze<br />

the lip or gum).<br />

9. DRY OR CHAPPED SKIN<br />

Rub lavender oil on dry or chapped skin.<br />

10. CHAPPED OR SUNBURNED LIPS<br />

Rub a drop of lavender oil on chapped or sunburned lips.<br />

11. HAY FEVER.<br />

Rub a drop of lavender oil between your palms and<br />

inhale deeply to help alleviate the symptoms of hay fever.<br />

12. DANDRUFF.<br />

Rub several drops of lavender oil into<br />

help eliminate dandruff.<br />

13. COLD SORES.<br />

Put a drop of lavender oil on a cold sore.<br />

the scalp to<br />

Happy pets<br />

Lavender oil is<br />

particularly good as a<br />

method of preventing<br />

tick eggs from hatching<br />

– add it around the<br />

house and under<br />

cushions and rugs<br />

where your pets sleep.<br />

PRACTICAL USES & RECIPES


14. ITCHY, DRY SKIN<br />

– Forget the chemical smelling lotions. Just add lavender oil to fractionated<br />

coconut oil. Rub on skin for soothing relief.<br />

15. MINOR SKIN IRRITATION AND SCRAPES<br />

– Rub lavender oil on irritated or scratched areas of the skin instead of<br />

Neosporin. You’ll be surprised at how well it works. Also, got a splinter?<br />

Don’t bother digging it out of your skin, put a few drops of lavender oil on<br />

the injury<br />

Medicine Cabinet<br />

This essential oil is a favourite for many because of its soothing properties Makeover<br />

and light,<br />

natural smell. It’s great as a sleep aid, for sinus irritations, allergies, and as a soothing<br />

skin treatment. Proper use of lavender essential oil can replace many common<br />

medications. Replace the following medications with natural lavender for safer, toxic<br />

free health uses.<br />
