Treating sinusitis and oral inflammation with Eucalyptus

The eucalyptus is known for its aromatic properties, thanks to its essential oil contained in the leaves, eucalyptus has a strong smell like that of the camphor.

When it comes to the treatment of the respiratory system it's known for its balmy effect. In fact it's recommended for those who suffer from sinusitis. You can use it by putting 10 grams of dried leaves in a pint of boiling water and do steam inhalation for 3 days.

Instead, for the oral inflammations, gargles with a decotion can be beneficial. Prepare by boiling for 10 minutes 10 grams of dried eucalyptus leaves in 250ml of water. Allow to cool and then strain. Gargle but don't swallow the liquid.
