I often use Eucalyptus oil at home - it’s one of my favorite oils. Eucalyptus is famous as food for koalas, but have you ever used eucalyptus oil?
One of the common uses of the oil is as a sterilizing agent. It’s also good for hay fever or a stuffy nose and you can use it as bug spray. It’s poisonous, so you need to dilute it before using it. There are various uses, but I mainly use it for laundry or cleaning. I put several drops into the washing machine when I do the laundry. It works as a deodorant and eliminates viruses. You can also put some in a humidifier when you have a stuffy nose, and it makes breathing easier. Some people may dislike it, but I like its minty smell.
You can usually find 100% pure eucalyptus oil for around 1,000 yen in supermarkets or pharmacies in Australia. But it’s about 2,000 yen for only 10ml in Japan, so I feel like I’m wasting it if I use it for washing or cleaning. Luckily, my boss is a great guy and he bought me some on his last trip to Australia.
By the way, I also recommend Tea tree oil, which has similar uses to Eucalyptus oil! They are both natural products, so why not try one!
