Question 1

Can i put eucalyptus oil in my 7 month old baby's cool mist humidifier?

Accepted Answer

This is a very nice way to improve the humidity and also help decongest a baby without giving them medications. Don't forget the baby can use nasal saline drops too if congested. Put a couple of drops in the nose, gently massage, and then if he or she doesn't sneeze them out, use the bulb suctioner to clear out. Remember lots of cuddles too when baby not feeling well.

Question 2

Is it safe to use eucalyptus oil on a humidifier to for baby to help him breathe properly? also, what remedies can you suggest for a clogged nose?

Accepted Answer

The first months are complicated by narrow nasal passages which swell/close if exposed to dust,fragrances, smoke & other irritants.Baby tries to flush these out of the nose  with mucous but this often ends as congestion & produces rattling with breathing.The best rx is washing out the nose with saline & suctioning the remainder. Eliminate irritants from babies environment & this will happen less.

Question 3

Is it safe to use eucalyptus oil in a humidifier for a 16mnth old with blocked and runny nose?

Accepted Answer

Nasal congestion at that age is aggravated by the smaller size of the nasal passages which make any swelling/drainage block things easier. I find ANY FUME/ODOR producing agent will act as a nasal irritant & worsen things. I never suggest these things before school age, when the nasal passages are big enough to avoid this effect. Clean out the nose with saline wash & use water in the humidifier.

Question 5

You probably can use eucalyptus oil.  If you do, make sure that you thoroughly wash it out after use.  Vaporizers can get plugged up.  Another alternative is to use water with a pinch of salt as an alternative to their proprietary products

Question 7

Will eucalyptus oil or peppermint oil be any good for skin?

Eucalyptus oil is often used for arthritis or steamed to relieve nasal congestion. Peppermint oil can be taken for irritable bowel syndrome, tension headaches and nausea and is "possibly effective". Skin is not listed as a use.

Question 8

Is it safe to use eucalyptus oil in my vicks vaporizer while my 1 year old sleeps?

Accepted Answer

Infants & toddlers have narrow nasal passages that are more sensitive to fumes,dust, and other air pollutants. It will often trigger drainage and internal swelling in the nose that increases work of breathing. The clean mist is fine, but I avoid such additives as oils or Vicks until school age.

Question 9

Are there any possible negative side effects to using eucalyptus oil in an infrared sauna long term?k

Accepted Answer

Can develop a sensitivity to the eucalyptus oil (irritant dermatitis).  I have to work within a conventional medical framework and in the conventional world the studies on infrared saunas have so far been disappointing re its effects.
