You, too, can squash bacteria with this powerful essential oil: if you’re beginning to catch a cold, try inhaling steam from a basin filled with hot water and a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil. You may just stop that cold in its tracks.”

“Many essential oils are natural analgesics—substances that provide relief from pain by acting on the peripheral and ventral nervous systems. For instance, wintergreen essential oil contains between 85 and 99 percent methyl salicylate, which is the same active ingredient contained in aspirin. Before synthetic pain relievers were introduced in the 1920s, wintergreen and birch were considered to be the best remedies for pain; in fact, Native Americans used both plants before written records were ever kept.”
