Despite widespread use in over-the-counter agents and vapors, there is not enough scientific evidence to recommend use of eucalyptus oil as a decongestant-expectorant (by mouth or inhaled form). The available studies are of poor quality, and have used combination therapies or 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol), which is a component of eucalyptus. Further studies are needed before a firm conclusion can be made.

Jeanette Jarmon Local honey dispels allergies created by local allergens. If I feel an allergic reaction coming on I can take 1 teaspoon of honey and the reaction will stop. I make "honey toast" every few days and keep my immune system up, and now I have very few reactions. And those are triggered if I am stirring up allergens raking old leaves and such. I saw total improvement in my young granddaughters (8 and 2). ( I am aware not to give honey to those under one year of age.) We have all stopped taking Claritin. I live in the South with plenty of plants flowering, trees budding and shedding. I also drink milk at the same time, because of the positive remarks in the Bible about "milk and honey".
