It is a very powerful antiseptic and is useful in massage blends for muscular fatigue. It is an excellent oil to add to blends for use either before or after sporting activities. Ideal in the ‘sick room’, Eucalyptus can be vaporised or sprayed around when there is a ‘flu or cold virus around. It reduces the risk of the infection spreading and speeds up the patient’s recovery.
