1. A few drops on the shower floor in the morning, in front of where you stand, to clear sinuses, reduce allergies, awaken the mind yes it works and even reduce a headache.

2. One drop of Eucalyptus in a handful of unscented cream rubbed into your back and legs after a hard workout or if you’re just feeling sore. Muscles love Eucalyptus! They calm right down.

3. Add 10 drops to a blank inhaler as I mentioned above to get rid of a stuffed up head, open your sinuses, reduce an infection that might take a few days and active use and get rid of a tension related headaches.
