 Eucalyptus oil is
a traditional remedy used by the aboriginal people of
Australia for thousands of years. Of the more than 700
varieties of eucalypti available around the world, only a
small percentage is considered actively beneficial. To qualify
as an active agent, eucalyptus oil must contain at least 70%
cineole (a major component of camphor-scented essential oils
found in eucalyptus leaves). V-VAX Eucalyptus Oil contains 85%
to 90% cineole.
 This organic
oil comes from the central New South Wales region of
Australia, a semi-arid area which is home to the richest
cineole-bearing Polybractea (blue mallee) variety of
eucalyptus. It is extracted using a chemical-free, double
distillation process to ensure the highest level of purity.
The result is a colorless, mobile liquid with heavenly
wood-scented undertones. It blends well with thyme, rosemary,
lavender, marjoram, pine, cedar wood and lemon.
Turn to V-VAX Eucalyptus Oil to soothe a
wide range of symptoms or to create a meditative
mood.
RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM
For chest congestion for a variety of
conditions:
> Spray V-VAX on an unfolded tissue,
place over your mouth and breathe through the saturated area,
exhaling through the mouth. Take three deep breaths. The vapor
will make you cough briefly.
> Spray V-VAX on your chest after a hot
shower or bath. Seal with an unscented lotion or any "carrier"
oil such as grape seed, almond or other cold-pressed vegetable
oil.
SKIN
As insect repellent: Spray V-VAX over
exposed areas, avoiding eyes. Insects will not bother you for
up to two hours. Repeat as needed.
For rashes and insect bites: Spray V-VAX
on the affected area and allow to dry. Repeat as
needed.
For burns: Spray V-VAX immediately onto
burn area. Do not rub in. Repeat in one hour.
For scalp massage and hair treatment:
Apply a few drops of V-VAX directly to the scalp or mix with
shampoo to stimulate the blood flow to the hair and help
revitalize dull or shedding hair.
For face and body care: Add a few drops of
V-VAX to your favorite skin cleansing cream, soap cleanser,
facial scrub and skin moisturizer.
CIRCULATION, MUSCLES &
JOINTS
For back aches, muscle aches and sprains:
First bathe the affected area with hot water or apply a warm
compress to open the pores. Spray V-VAX on the area and
massage well for at least one minute. Re-spray the area and
massage again. Seal with an unscented lotion or any "carrier"
oil such as grape seed, almond or other cold-pressed vegetable
oil.
For sore feet: Soak feet in hot water,
then dry. Spray V-VAX all over feet and massage into skin.
Seal with an unscented lotion or any "carrier" oil such as
grape seed, almond or other cold-pressed vegetable oil. (For a
soothing foot bath, add one teaspoon of V-VAX to warm water
before soaking feet.)
IMMUNE SYSTEM
For sinus, sinus headache, hay fever, and
head congestion:
> Spray V-VAX on a folded tissue,
press lightly to your nose and breathe through the tissue
until it is no longer damp (about 45 seconds). The vapor may
make your eyes water and cause coughing. This is a normal
reaction and is momentary.
> Pour 15 to 20 drops of
V-VAX into a bowl of streaming hot water. Cover your head with
a towel, lean over the bowl and inhale the vapors. A personal
steam vaporizer inhaler can also be used with smaller amounts
of V-VAX and water.
For sores or abrasions on lips or skin: At
the first sign of tingling or discomfort, apply V-VAX to the
affected area. Repeat the application several times a day.
AROMATHERAPY
For baths, hot tubs and Jacuzzis: Add one
or two teaspoons of V-VAX to enjoy a fresh, invigorating
experience that relaxes and revitalizes the senses. Put a few
drops of V-VAX on a hot facecloth, fold cloth and place on
your forehead. Lean back and breathe in the healing vapors.
This straw-colored liquid has a fresh, herby aroma. It blends
well with basil, bergamot, cypress, geranium, ginger,
lavender, lemon and ylang-ylang.
For saunas and steam baths: Dilute one
part V-VAX to 100 parts water in a spray bottle to
spray
into the air and onto walls. Do not spray on hot coals or
stones - eucalyptus oil is flammable. For steam baths, spray a
small amount of V-VAX into the steam release area.
For home air freshener:
> Add equal
parts water and V-VAX to an electric air freshener or
diffuser, and adjust the vent to allow for vapor disbursement.
Add the same mix to a candle-based aroma or incense
vase.
(Do not apply directly near flame - eucalyptus oil is
flammable.
> Add one or two teaspoons to vaporizer or
humidifier water during the winter months.
> Soak used
air freshener wicks with V-VAX and reuse as fresheners in the
bathroom, etc.
