Refresh and Revitalize: Summer Uses for Eucalyptus Oil

Welcome the summer season with the refreshing, revitalizing, and relaxing benefits of our Emu Ridge eucalyptus oil! Eucalyptus oil is incredibly versatile, especially in summertime, offering a multitude of uses that keep your home fresh and promote natural wellness.

Here are ten favourite ways to use eucalyptus oil this summer:

1. Odour Eliminator: Spray eucalyptus oil inside shoes to tackle odours. After barbecues, spritz trash cans to neutralize smells, and freshen up musty camping gear.
2. Insect Repellent: Mix eucalyptus oil with a carrier oil (like olive oil) for a natural insect deterrent. Apply it to pulse points, clothing, or create a spray with water. Diffusing it also helps create a bug-free zone.
3. DIY Hand Sanitizer: Combine a few drops of eucalyptus oil with a carrier oil (like almond oil) in a small spray bottle. Perfect for picnics and barbecues!
4. Travel Relief: For motion sickness or blocked ears, inhale eucalyptus oil or place soaked cotton balls nearby during travel. A handy bottle can help ease discomfort. (Did you know Quanta’s used to have eucalyptus infused sachets to breath if your ears are blocked)
5. Seasonal Allergy Relief: Clear sinuses and ease allergy symptoms by diffusing eucalyptus oil or inhaling steam from a bowl of boiling water with added eucalyptus. Diffuser Recipe: Combine 5 drops of eucalyptus oil with 3 drops lemon myrtle oil in a diffuser for a relaxing and refreshing summer scent. This is also good if you suffer from allergies.
6. Cleaning & Freshening: Enhance your cleaning routine by adding eucalyptus oil to laundry, using it in surface cleaners, or mixing it in mop water for a refreshing scent.
7. Mattress & Linen Care: Vacuum your mattress, then spray with eucalyptus oil before airing it out. Add it to laundry for towels and sports gear to combat odours.
8. Bath Soak: Add 10 drops of eucalyptus oil to a warm bath for a refreshing soak that eases muscle tension and uplifts your mood.
9. Cooling Eucalyptus Sprays: Mix 10-15 drops of eucalyptus oil with 1 cup of distilled water and a tablespoon of witch hazel in a spray bottle. Use this on your body or to mist your living space for a refreshing cool down.
10. Skincare Benefits: Eucalyptus oil’s anti-inflammatory properties make it great for soothing sunburned or irritated skin. Mix it with a carrier oil or emu oil for relief.

With these versatile uses, eucalyptus oil is the perfect companion for a refreshing summer season!
