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. Copyright © 2007 Natural Standard Inc.




I use Eucalyptus oil for sinus infections and other cold symptoms. Inhaling vapors by adding leaves or oil to boiling water really helps me in reducing symptoms. Definitely clears my sinuses.
