Eucalyptus oil is well known for its ability to ease breathing and clear nasal passages. It works by reducing inflammation in the sinuses and acting as a natural decongestant.
Inhalation through steam bowls, diffusers, or warm compresses is the most effective method. A few drops in hot water or a humidifier can help open airways and relieve pressure.
It should not be ingested or applied directly without dilution.
