Eucalyptus Oil


Recommended Posts

I recently went to a hookah bar that used this odd oil before a session. They put about 2 drops of oil in the palms of our hands and had us rub our palms together but to be carful not to get it on finger tips so you won't get it in your eyes. Then hold your palms up to your face and inhale, a nice smell and amazing feeling of enhaling. Its said to help clear pasages and help "prepare" your body for the inhaling of the shisha. I don't know why but I could really get the taste of the shisha out of the hookah at this bar alot easier. I bought a bottle because iwas skeptical. When i got home i tried a session with and one without it and noticed a little bit of a difference but the biggest difference was how comfortable I was with the smoke and how more tolerant I was to tingeling. This oil is pretty expensive but last a good month or 2 for 1 bottle. Its made by a company called Aura Cacia, and is a 100% Pure Essential oil called Eucalyptus Globulus. As an avid smoker kind of brings the spirtual aspect in and might just be a nice way to prepare for a session.

Anyone else ever done this? Anyone know any chemical knowledge of this? I have read that it does infact help clear passages all throughout your body.

I use eucalyptus all the time for congestion, and allergies. Works wonders for kids, too; put it in their bathwater, and it helps with congestion wthout nasty cold-meds side effects wink.gif

I can imagine it would affect a smoking session, since it opens up airways, and thins mucus.

Lavender, peppermint, and tea tree oils have similar properties (lavender and tea tree are antibacterial, as well). Might be interesting to try different oils with different flavors. I have tons of essential oils, as I make my own soap (I'm not a hippy, I swear!!). I'll try it out tonight =]

Oh, btw, if you are looking for better deals on essential oils, there are a ton of co-ops (group buys) on the Yahoo Groups. It's much cheaper to buy in bulk, and you can usually buy by the ounce.
