How to Make Homemade Eucalyptus Oil

Eucalyptus oil has been known to work wonders on the body due to its somewhat endless benefits. It has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and pain-relieving properties, contains a natural antiseptic and acts as a natural insect repellent.

What You Will Need

Eucalyptus leaves

Extra virgin olive oil

Slow cooker

Glass bottle

Strainer

Step One

Wash a large handful of fresh eucalyptus leaves and measure one cup of extra virgin olive oil.

Step Two

Place these ingredients into a slow cooker or over a low heat for six hours.

Step Three

Let it cool, strain, and voila.

Step Four

Keep it in a cool, dry place and be sure to never ingest it. When you want to rub it anywhere on the body, I recommend mixing it with a carrier oil like coconut or argan oil, it won’t lessen the effects, but it will make it last longer!
