At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we are committed to ensuring our customers can safely and effectively utilize the natural ingredients we offer, including Eucalyptus oil. While Eucalyptus oil is incredibly beneficial, it is a potent essential oil and requires careful handling to maximize its advantages while minimizing any potential risks. Understanding proper dilution and application is key.

The golden rule when working with Eucalyptus oil, like most essential oils, is dilution. Never apply undiluted Eucalyptus oil directly to the skin. Essential oils are highly concentrated and can cause skin irritation, redness, or sensitization if used improperly. The general recommendation for topical application is to dilute it with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, almond oil, jojoba oil, or olive oil. A common starting point is a 1-2% dilution, which translates to about 6-12 drops of Eucalyptus oil per ounce (30ml) of carrier oil. For specific applications like massage oils for pain relief, a slightly higher dilution might be considered, but it’s always best to start conservatively and test on a small patch of skin first.

For aromatherapy purposes, such as in a diffuser, Eucalyptus oil is used differently. Typically, 3-5 drops of the essential oil are added to the water reservoir of an ultrasonic diffuser. This disperses a fine mist into the air, allowing you to inhale the beneficial vapors. When using for steam inhalation to alleviate respiratory congestion, add 1-2 drops of Eucalyptus oil to a bowl of hot (not boiling) water. Lean over the bowl with a towel draped over your head to create a tent, and inhale the steam deeply for 5-10 minutes. Be sure to keep your eyes closed during this process to avoid irritation.

When using Eucalyptus oil for cleaning, you can add a few drops to your cleaning spray bottle filled with water and a mild detergent. For a more robust cleaning solution, combine it with white vinegar. Always ensure good ventilation when using cleaning solutions containing essential oils. It is also important to store your Eucalyptus oil properly, in a cool, dark place, tightly sealed, to maintain its potency and prevent degradation. If you have any underlying health conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are using Eucalyptus oil on children, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a certified aromatherapist before use. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-quality Eucalyptus oil for all your natural wellness needs, and we encourage you to use it with informed care.
