Eucalyptus, like many other plants, has many medicinal benefits you can use to help yourself daily.  When you think of essential oils, you probably immediately think of aromatherapy and diffusers, but essential oils can do so much more to help us everyday.  They can be diffused, added to household products like soaps and shampoos, added to baths and showers and infused with carrier oils to help treat skin conditions and body aches. From treating dandruff to clearing sinuses, Eucalyptus has a wide variety of uses you may not even have thought of… until now.
