5. Eucalyptus Oil
Eucalyptus oil’s key benefit comes from the inclusion of cineole. This is an organic compound that has a number of benefits, including the one we’re interested in here: the ability to reduce inflammation.
Many of the negative effects of allergies are felt because of inflammation. This causes the throat and airways to swell, thereby making it hard to breathe and causing discomfort.
Eucalyptus oil can reverse this and because you’re inhaling it, you’re presenting it right to the area that has been affected. This is better than swallowing an anti-inflammatory medicine.
