Home Remedy #6: Eucalyptus Oil
Eucalyptus oil is oil that is made from the Eucalyptus leaf. It has been used in traditional medicine for various disorders such as colds, influenza, asthma, and bronchitis. Early research has shown that eucalyptus oil may have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties when applied topically. It has been thought to help improve circulation as well.
In a study published in 2013, researchers studied the effects of eucalyptus oil in aromatherapy for patients after a total knee replacement. Patients with arthritis can apply a small quantity of warmed eucalyptus oil over the painful area followed by steaming towels. This can help alleviate the pain.
