care or household solutions, in every aspect of daily<br />
life there are -<br />
1000’s of uses for<br />

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 />
Makeover<br />
Lemon is a favourite because of its disinfecting and antibacterial properties.<br />
Here’s what medicines you can replace with lemon essential oil.<br />
• Acne medication<br />

• Chloroseptic<br />
• Pepto-Bismol<br />

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 />

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