Eucalyptus is a popular essential oil, and many people reach for it when they feel like they’re coming down with a cold or flu, or if they have allergies or congestion of some kind. Eucalyptus is excellent for that! It loves supporting the respiratory system! But Eucalyptus has other uses, too. Let’s learn some of them!
There are many different species of Eucalyptus. I have Eucalyptus globulus and Eucalyptus radiata. They are very similar in their uses, chemistries, and from an aromatic perspective. (Although I think radiata is a little softer!) I have more radiata, so that’s what I’m using today, but just know that the different species of Eucalyptus essential oil are pretty interchangeable.
🐨 Eucalyptus Use Number 1
0:47 - Eucalyptus Essential Oil Cleaning Spray
This is such a simple natural cleaning recipe! Not only does the Eucalyptus essential oil help to clear away germs, but I always feel like I’m supporting my health as I clean-I can feel it opening my breath as I wipe down my counter! I love that!
I have a 16 oz (480 ml) spray bottle, and I’ve filled it most of the way with water. Then I’m adding
Dash white vinegar (1:22)
2 ml (50 drops) Eucalyptus essential oil (Eucalyptus radiata) (1:44)
Instead of counting all 50 drops of the Eucalyptus essential oil, I’m using a graduated cylinder to measure 2 ml. (1 ml is approximately 25 drops, so 2 ml is about 50.)
At 2:50, I’m adding the Eucalyptus essential oil into the 16 oz bottle. Of course, the water and essential oil don’t mix, so I always give the bottle a good shake before I use it. Then I use it to clean any surface in my home that likes water-based cleaners, like my counters, sinks, shower stall, bathtub, and more.
I make this blend fresh every few weeks since it’s not made with preservatives.
Enjoy cleaning your home and supporting your health!
🐨 🐨 Eucalyptus Use Number 2
3:45 - Eucalyptus Essential Oil for Topical Pain Relief
This is a Eucalyptus blend for topical use that can really help to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and encourage circulation. Eucalyptus offers a comforting cooling sensation that feels so good to tight muscles, or areas of hot inflammation.
I have a 10 ml glass roll-on bottle for this blend, and I’m using jojoba as a base.
10 ml jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) (4:23)
6 drops Eucalyptus essential oil (Eucalyptus radiata) (5:00)
I know that 6 drops doesn’t sound like a lot of essential oil, but this is actually a nice strong blend for pain relief. Eucalyptus essential oil is very “good at its job!”
At 5:15, you can see me pop the roller-top onto the bottle.
You can use this blend for achy muscles and tension, or even if you’re feeling a cold coming on. (Try it for aches and pains that come along with the flu!)
🐨 🐨 🐨 Eucalyptus Use Number 3
6:01 - Eucalyptus Essential Oil Steam
Have you ever noticed that when you have a stuffy nose, a cold, or any kind of congestion in your head, that steam seems to help unclog it and clear your breathing? This technique takes advantage of that “magic effect” steam can have, and adds the support of Eucalyptus essential oil.
All you need is a bowl of hot steamy water. Then add 1 drop (just 1!). Now close your eyes, lean over the bowl, and breathe in the nourishing steam. You can concentrate the steam around you by draping a towel over your head.
🌿 One tip that I’ve found handy . . . be sure to have a box of tissues nearby!
You can steam for about one minute, then blow your nose, and steam again if you like. It’s helpful to do this several times a day if you’re getting sick, or if you’d like to prevent getting sick. After your steam, you can leave the bowl of water and essential oil out to continue diffusing into the air. (It smells so good!)
So there you have it-a few ways to use Eucalyptus essential oil that you may not have thought of before. I hope you connect with this amazingly supportive essential oil and make it a part of your life. It has so much to offer! 😃

This lady has the energy that made me remember when great teachers at school used to inspire me with their charm, calmness and intelligence. 👍👍
Thank you for taking the time to share this sweet message. We appreciate your kindness 💜
This women brings me happiness. I wish we had more women like her in this world.
Thank you for your kindness and support. Your sweet message is truly a delight to receive 💜💜💜
You have such a calming energy I could just watch you all day! Thanks for this recipe:)
If you use distilled water and distilled white vinegar, the product will last for 1-2 months.
You can also add a dispersant to the blend which causes the essential oils and water to homogenize.
Simply add to your beaker the essential oils and add in the same amount of dispersant. Mix well.
Finally add the dispersant and essential oil blend with the water/vinegar mixture and mix well so all ingredients integrate.
An Australian Essential Oil Company "Springfields" sells an essential oil dispersant.
Other dispersants are Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 80 (mainly used for skin care, baths products, etc), Quinessence's Solubuiliser and Solubol.
A good natural preservative that will allow your product to last up to 6 months is Potassium sorbate. Potassium sorbate inhibits the growth of yeast and bacteria as well as mould and microbes. Its is found in many products as it provides a longer shelf life.
Another ingredient I use is Caprylyl Glucoside as it is a highly effective solubulizer and also acts as a gently cleansing surfactant that is great for cleaning products.
I love Eucalyptus. It's my very favorite oil. Thank you for the great video, Andrea.
I do too, JoAnn Adams! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.
What a soothing voice and kindly demeanour. Glad I came across this site!
We're so happy you found our channel! 💜
I love Eucalyptus with Grapefruit . Very refreshing in my massage balm in winter.
Maxine, love the effect to getting energy flowing with the combination of Eucalyptus and Grapefruit!
I currently have a bad cold . So I'm am diffusing Tea tree, spike lavender and eucalyptus right now. I love this blend. It helps greatly with my cough and sinuses. It's absolutely wonderful.
That's an amazing combination and we're so happy to hear that it's been working well for you 💜
Thank you, you have a beautiful Soul.
Thanks for this great information!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Love eucalyptus!! I got a new bottle of sweet almond oil and I was transferring it into a glass bottle that I store my oil in, stays cleaner than a plastic bottle. My dog was sniffing the air, I had a little on my finger and she was trying to lick it! Definitely one of her stranger moments but apparently almond oil is one of her favourite smells, who knew! 😂 😂 😂
Like your video and your gentle attitude 👍👍
Thank you Abert! Your feedback is much appreciated 💜
Eucalyptus helps to soothe my anxiety. Very calming for me; also helps me with allergies.
Tattooed_dreamer thank you for sharing the ways Eucalyptus helps you!
how do you used it for anxiety
Your energy 😍❤️❤️❤️
Legend. Thank you!
Your sweet message is a delight to receive 😊
Wile I mop the floor water, a tiny bit of bleach , Eucalyptus oil to counter act the bleach smell . I get the big 6oz bottles on Amazon
Hi Andrea. Love your videos and your book. I also love Eucalyptus, it is my all time favorite scent. I like both Radiata and Globulus. Is there a specific reason for using Radiata? I want to make sure I'm using the right one. Thank you!
Lilacjr Randolphthere are many different species of Eucalyptus and when I made this video I had more radiata, so that’s what I used. Just know that the different species of Eucalyptus essential oil are pretty interchangeable.
Thank you!
Love all your videos and this one is no exception. A lot of information and great recipes. Thanks so much for this knowledge. Just a general question as I’ve just recently found the value in EO’s, what is a good substitute for Ylang Ylang in making perfumes. Thank you for your time🌸.
Andrea Butje, thank you very much for the reply. Would the Rose and Geranium co-distill be an acceptable substitute too?
Any of these would work, Connie M. Bromley, Neroli (Citrus aurantium var. amara)
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Jasmine absolute (Jasminum grandiflorum). All of them are so beautiful in perfume blends.
Yes, rose/geranium co-distilled is also an option.
Would you happen to have a video about blending eucalyptus and lemon essential oils?
Hi Octavia! We have a great recipe starring Eucalyptus and Lemon that was featured in our weekly newsletter that I can share with you. Do you receive our weekly email? You can subscribe here and we will send you more great recipes each week - and it’s free! info.aromahead.com/ah-weekly
Eucalyptus Lemon Shower Spray
3 drops Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil (Eucalyptus globulus)
3 drops Lemon essential oil (Citrus limon)
1 oz (30 ml) Water (distilled or filtered)
1 teaspoon Vinegar
Equipment
one 1 oz (30 ml) Glass Bottle
Directions
Make your cleaning spray in a spray bottle. Pour the water into the bottle. Add the vinegar and the essential oils, close the bottle, and shake gently.
I suggest making this blend fresh every few weeks, since it’s not made with a preservative.
To Use:
Shake well before spraying this on your shower walls and wiping them down with a clean rag or paper towel.
I like to use this blend after I take a shower. It works great for any surface that’s water-friendly. All I do is spritz it on my shower walls and wipe them down, and then I don’t have to worry about things like mold or grime building up.
Safety Note
Eucalyptus: Use with caution for topical applications on children between 5-10 years old, avoid applying close to the face.💜
Oh what a coincidence! I just said how I use a recipe similar to this recipe in your newly uploaded video! Haha.
ah Shannon Hicks! I see you found my video about Eucalyptus Essential Oil Uses. I had just shared that with you on your previous comment! 😁
Aromahead Institute yes, i was trying to get caught up on your videos. Ha.
Thank u!
You're most welcome!
@andreaButje, with the flu going around, what blend would you suggest I can diffuse at work to clean the air around me and keep from getting sick.
It can be tricky to diffuse in a public place like a work area. You might consider a personal inhaler for use at work or even a hand sanitizer. Here are two blogs that teach you how to do both of those things: blog.aromahead.com/2017/06/19/make-travel-inhaler-immune-support-sleep-nlblog.aromahead.com/2015/03/09/make-natural-hand-cleanser-gel-kids-caretakers
THANKS AROMA ANGIE 🧚🧚🧚
It's truly our pleasure to share 💜
@andreabutje, I just purchased several essential oils from Aromatics during this great sale they are having but they are out of stock for the Neroli Petigrain, is there another source you can recommend???
You could try Stillpoint Aromatics.
Great teaching madam, but do you buy eucalyptus Globulus oil, I have it
Thank you!
We don’t sell any oils here at Aromahead, as our focus is on providing unbiased, science, and evidence-based education about aromatherapy.
We like to recommend Aromatics International! You can buy 100% pure, high-quality essential oils and supplies: www.aromatics.com 💜
Hi,We have a lot of moths in the house and can't seem to get rid of them finding them everywhere. Would this oil be good to diffuse to get rid of them ? Thanking you
Hi patricia gimay!! On the Aromahead Blog we have shared a post with "Tips to Bug-Proof Your Home with Essential Oils" that you may find helpful: blog.aromahead.com/2016/06/13/tips-bug-proof-home-essential-oils
Hello,
For the roll on use, can we use coconut oil instead?
Yes Steve, you can use any carrier oil you enjoy in place of the jojoba in the Eucalyptus Essential Oil for Topical Pain Relief blend!
Can you use eucalyptus oil with Vaseline and use it on the skin ?
Great question! Yes, you could use Eucalyptus oil in any of your favorite carriers, such as Vaseline, for skin application. We would recommend using a 2% dilution with 10-12 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier. 💜
okay so I got a cold a few days ago and now my throat is sore so I had a friend tell me that I should get arbor oil spray from a health store that he uses everyday for his mouth. So then i went to the store and the people up there told me it would be a good idea too and that they also all use it for their mouths. so I bought a small bottle and sprayed inside my mouth twice and moved it around my mouth then spit it out. my nostrils cleared up and my throat started feeling a little better. Is what I did safe or was it stupid. im still a little concerned. is it toxic for the body? Its called Arbor Oil/pure essential oil of eucalyptus 80 - 85% cineole content. and the bottle says for external use only but other people say otherwise. please reply, thanks.
Warrior Of Auir I am sorry to hear that you are under the weather with a cold and sore throat. I wish I had good information about that, but I am sorry I am have not used that product before and so I wouldn't be able to advise.
What I can suggest to you is a great natural sore throat remedy from my Aromahead Blog. Here's a link for more information: blog.aromahead.com/2015/11/09/natural-sore-throat-remedy-make-throat-cream
Can you use eucalyptus in a diffuser?
Eucalyptus can be great to use in a diffuser! Here's a link to a blog post where we share a recipe we think you'll enjoy: www.aromahead.com/blog/makes-eucalyptus-tea-tree-helpful-allergy-relief
@andreabutje, sorry to bug but I went to the Canadian company’s site to order the neroli/Petitgrain and the shipping to the USA is $20.00. I have Neroli essential oil would that work in this blend???
YAAY, thank you!!!
You could use neroli in this blend, surich3.
Ita nice
Thanks Soorya! 💜
Its ok diluted with sweet almond oil ?
Hi @Ligel Claude! Yes, you can dilute Eucalyptus essential oil in any of your favorite carrier oils. Almond oil is a lovely choice!
Mean The Big Bottle of Jojoba oil Where Can i get it.
Hi Debbie Morales! Sorry about that, I apologize, I should have mentioned for the gallon size jojoba to email the Aromatics customer service team and they'll assist you with that: team@aromatics.com
@andreabutje. Thanks Andrea. What about another supplier. Do you only source from Aromatics??? I would rather use the Neroli/ Petitgrain and not a substitute.
You could also try Stillpoint Aromatics if Aromatics.com is out of an oil.
Is it safe to inhale directly from the bottle?
Yes, you could smell the aroma straight from the bottle, but you would want to make sure not to get any on your nose. Another idea would be to put a few drops on a tissue and inhale it that way 💜
can you use another base oil instead of jojoba oil?
Yes, you could use any carrier oil you would like, Rob Smith. :o)

Great for reducing pain
Indeed Cleopatra TROPHY WIFE! Eucalyptus can really help to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and encourage circulation!
Is that a glass or plastic spray bottle? Doesn't essential oil affect plastic? Thanks.
Hi Lara Everett! Glass is ideal and if you prefer it’s definitely a good choice. Most plastics react with essential oils and we always use and recommend PET plastic which is non-reactive. You can use PET plastic when you’re blending essential oils into a carrier oil, water, or gel. Sometimes plastic is handy, like for travel, cleaning products, or blends you’ll use in the shower (where your hands might get slippery).
@@aromatherapyoils Great! Thank you. I was wondering where to get a glass bottle like that, if it was glass, and what kind of plastic, if it was plastic.
So I guess Amazon for the PET plastic? Also, where to get quality, but affordable oils?
I found your channel while looking for beeswax melts and now I'm interested in so much more!
Thanks!
Lara, for both glass & PET plastic bottles try here: www.sks-bottle.com/340c/PlasticBottles1.html
For essenial oils, there are many wonderful companies. We like to recommend buying from companies that import directly from the distillers, that test every batch of oil with GC/MS, and that share the batch specific GC/MS reports with their customers. This ensures quality and demonstrates accountability. Here are a few we can recommend:
Aromatics International - www.aromatics.com/
Essential Elements - essentialelementsstore.com/
Pompeii Organics - www.pompeiiorganics.com/
Florihana (US) www.florihana-us.com/
Florihana (Europe) - www.florihana.com/en/
Aliksir (Canada) - www.aliksir.com/
Here's a blog post for more information about GC/MS testing:

Hope this helps guide you!
Hi Andrea. Can I drink Eucalyptus oil?
That is a great question, but one that is complicated and difficult to answer via social media. Feel free to email me at team@aromahead.com and I can share some information with you.
Bosisto’s is the oldest Eucalyptus oil company in Australia, & hence the world. Their labels clearly state: ‘Poison. Keep out of reach of children. So no, don’t drink it. 🤓
listen to her to have one drop for a steam vapour i used about 6 drops and burnt my throat very painful
Yes, 1 drop is all you need. A little goes a long way when using these potent oils. Sorry to hear you burnt your throat Lillian! That must've been a painful experience.
Can we put this oil directly in our nose ??
Great quest Akash! An Aromatherapy inhaler is recommended for inhaling essential oils through the nose. Here is a blog post to learn more about "What is an aromatherapy inhaler? And what can I use it for?": blog.aromahead.com/2015/04/06/aromatherapy-inhaler-can-use
Also here on the Aromahead UA-cam channel we have a video that shows how to make an inhaler and Andrea demonstrate how it is used: ua-cam.com/video/twXKKkjiLnQ/v-deo.html
We hope this information helps guide you!
Wat is hobo oil?
Hi Emma! Jojoba (pronounced ho-ho-ba) is a carrier oil. It’s actually a liquid wax. Pure, raw jojoba wax closely resembles the natural oil produced by our skin, called sebum, which means our skin reacts well to it. It’s great for even very sensitive skin. Jojoba absorbs into the skin and leaves it feeling very soft and smooth, almost silky to the touch, and not oily or greasy.

For your eucalyptus cleaning spray, is it safe to use vinegar on granite? That's what I have in my kitchen. I enjoy your videos so much. They are always fun and informative.
Andrea Butje
Thank you so much. I made the blend and cleaned my kitchen cabinets and cupboards. Eucalyptus smells really good.
Use Pure Baking Soda without Aluminium xD.
Thank you for sharing.
As I understand, you should not use vinegar on granite countertops, Mimi Lee
Thank You for posting this valuable video! One suggestion if I may, Please list the ingreedinents in written form for us that are having problems with hearing!!!! I could not for life of me understand You saying the name of the OIL. I am sure there are others in same boat too. Or speak Slower please!
Hi Victor! Thanks for the feedback, we do understand and we have good news - two features to help you with that! There is a written description included below each video we share at Aromahead - simply click 'Show More' to see that. We also include closed captioning.

Yep! You can use Avocado oil 😁

Where Can I Bye Jojoba Oil.
Hi Debbie Morales! One company we suggest is Aromatics International. I've done a quick search and here's a list of the Jojoba they carry: www.aromatics.com/search?q=jojoba*
can i pick any jajoba oil to use with eucalypt.
@@debbiemorales7057 I used plain Jojoba but you can be creative and select any other jojoba infused oil you like.
Que dijo??? 🤔
03:30 check the windows :)
Looks like there's a squirrel running across the fence outside the windows 😄
I ml = 16 drops
Hi Ethel,
There can be anywhere between 18-35 drops per ml, depending on the oil viscosity and the size of the orifice reducer - each oil is different, and it is not an exact measurement. 💜
Here is a link to a recent article we posted on the Aromahead Blog where we explore this topic a bit more: www.aromahead.com/blog/should-you-blend-essential-oils-by-drop-count-or-weight
Rich Americans eat organic. But what you apply on your skin also makes a difference. Because skin is a digestive organ
Or hair and scalp. Or what you put into your eyes. Like eye drops etc
I like this lady. She has a common face.
I bet she’s a tauras or an water sign
You seem like a lovely woman . . .
Thank you! 💜
