What to use Eucalyptus oil for?

  • temporary relief of the symptoms of colds and influenza: add 15-20 drops to steaming hot water and inhale, covering your head with a towel, or inhale a few drops on a hankerchief
  • temporary relief of muscular aches and pains: massage Eucalyptus oil into affected areas until a warm glow is felt
  • insect bites: apply oil onto affected areas
  • foot bath: add one teaspoon of oil to a foot bath for a rejuvenating soak
  • hand cleaner: remove unpleasant smells or grease and paint from hands by rubbing with a cloth moistened with oil and then with soap and water
  • how to remove sticky labels: test on an unseen area first then remove by rubbing gently with a Eucalyptus oil moistened cloth
  • adhesive bandages: moisten with oil, then lift off painlessly
    chewing gum, paint, ink marks: rub towards centre of stain with oil moistened cloth
  • toilet: a teaspoon of oil in toilets or drains is a good disinfectant, cleaner and deodoriser
  • laundry: add one or two teaspoons of oil to each load; ideal for work clothes, sportswear, socks and nappies; helps to control dust mites
  • dog wash: a little eucalyptus oil added to water when washing a dog can help get rid of fleas.

And finally, a garden pest spray recipe from Kevin Walsh, ABC radio

Mix the ingredients together in a small sprayer. Always shake thoroughly before each use.
Spray around seedlings and base of plants, and under leaves to ensure spray actually contacts the insect it is trying to control.
Use to control many garden pests including aphids, pear and cherry slug, caterpillars, whitefly, mealybugs, etc.
Do not store made up spray. Thoroughly wash sprayer after use.
