Anticatarrhal activity:
Nasal catarrh is an acute inflammation of the nasal mucosa, accompanied by hypersecretion of mucus: in other words, a large, clear flow of fluid from the nasal cavity. Eucalyptus oil not only improves mucus drainage by activating the ciliary cells of the respiratory tree, but also limits mucus production: it dries out the airways.
