Aromatherapy Share: Essence of the Week - Eucalyptus Mint...

Eucalyptus Mint is a broad-leaved tree in Austraila that grows in open forests and woodlands. Her Latin name, "Dives", means rich or wealthy. Aboriginal Australians use Eucalyptus Mint in smoking ceremonies, healing poultices, and in storytelling traditions. She is a sacred symbol of the land, nature, standing tall in our power, and being grounded.

Eucalyptus Mint helps to fight infections in the body, as well as fungus, congestion, cold, flu, UTI's, and bladder infections. She is a natural pain reliever that supports bodily injuries, arthritis, rheumatism, sprains, and sciatica. Internally, Eucalyptus Mint addresses vaginitis, ulcers, and intestinal issues.

Energetically, Eucalyptus Mint helps us go with the flow, stay present in the moment, and surrender to our destiny. She is a transformational aid, helping us find ease in life's ups and downs. When we find ourselves worrying about the future or resistant to change, this plant teacher is a great ally to have.

Anoint 5-10 drops onto the chest for lung care, on top of the head for headaches, directly onto areas of pain, internally for vaginitis, or consumed in water as a liquid. Anoint her 2-3 times a day for 120 days and then re-evaluate the disharmony.
