Eucalyptus

Even though traditional western medicine can be good at detecting certain ailments, the 
drug that are used to treat them are often both a blessing and a curse in that they can 
sometimes bring with them some very undesirable side effects. If you were to continue 
reading this article, you will find that it's geared toward sharing a few bits of information 
about how you can use eucalyptus to treat arthritis. 

How It Works 

Eucalyptus trees were first encountered in Australia. This unique tree produces a strong 
odor that is caused by its primary agent known as Eucalyptol. Using a process, 
Eucalyptus oil is extracted from Eucalyptus globulus. This intense smelling oil is then 
packaged in a filtered and concentrated form. Researchers looking for a way to reduce 
inflammation were fascinated to find that Eucalyptol has a powerful anti-inflammatory 
effect on swollen joints. This oil also has antimicrobial properties to help kill organisms 
that slow healing. 

How to Use Eucalyptus Oil

You should mix the Eucalyptus with a carrier like coconut oil. The most important thing 
about using this oil is your level of awareness of how it will affect you. It’s always a good 
idea to get the mixture right before you start slathering it onto whatever body parts that 
can have sensitive skin.
