Eucalyptus incense is a perfect choice if you’re looking for a refreshing and invigorating scent at home.
If you’re not familiar with eucalyptus incense, don’t worry – in this guide, we’ll explore everything about what it is and how it’s made, what its uses and benefits are, how someone can use it for the best incense experience, and tips for using it at home or out and about.
The leaves and branches of the eucalyptus tree are dried and ground into a powder, which is then used to make incense in any form, such as cones, traditional sticks, and more.
Eucalyptus oil can also be extracted from the tree leaves, and this oil has many therapeutic properties, as do the incense sticks.
The eucalyptus plant has a strong, fresh, and camphoraceous scent, which is what gives eucalyptus incense its distinct aroma and why it’s so popular. This fragrance is said to boost energy levels, improve mental clarity, and promote feelings of well-being.
The History Of Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus is known for its healing and soothing properties and has long been used in traditional medicine.
Australian Aboriginals would use the leaves for their oil as an effective medicine for treating sinus issues, congestion, fevers, body aches and pains, colds, and other forms of illness (see also ‘8 Beautiful Australian Crystals‘).
The eucalyptus tree was first introduced to Europe in the 18th century, with the leading importer being Captain James Cook, who brought the plant back to the UK on his second voyage to Australia in 1774.
It was brought to the US a little later, in 1849, around the time of the gold rush, when it was used as a favored wood fuel since the plant could grow so fast.
Since then, the popularity of its use has grown steadily and still remains incredibly popular to this day. In recent years, eucalyptus incense has become increasingly popular as people seek natural ways to improve their health and well-being.
How To Use Eucalyptus Incense
There are many different ways to use eucalyptus incense, depending on what you’re looking to achieve. For example, if you want to boost your energy levels or improve mental clarity, then it’s best to burn the incense in an open room so that the fragrance can circulate freely.
If you want to create a relaxing and soothing environment, then it’s best to burn the incense in your bedroom or living room. If you have one, you can also add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to your diffuser (see also ‘How Many Drops of Essential Oils in Diffuser‘).
When using eucalyptus incense sticks, it’s important to ensure that you’re using a heat-resistant holder, as the sticks can get quite hot. It’s also important to allow the stick to burn all the way through so that you don’t waste any of the incense.
If you’re using eucalyptus incense cones, then it’s best to place them on a heat-resistant surface, such as a metal tray. You can also put the cones on an incense burner if you have one.
Benefits Of Using Eucalyptus Incense
There are many benefits to using eucalyptus incense, both for your health and for your home. The main benefit is that it can help to improve your respiratory health by clearing your airways and sinuses.
If you’re struggling with a cold, flu, a cough, or a headache in general, get some eucalyptus out and feel warm, open, and capable of breathing within minutes. It’s that fresh, almost-spearmint-like effect that will keep you feeling fresh.
Eucalyptus incense is also said to boost your energy levels, improve mental clarity and focus, and promote feelings of well-being. This can help reduce the effects of mental exhaustion, stimulate healthier blood flow levels, and wake you up.
If you’re having a tough time or you’ve simply had a busy day, lighting up some eucalyptus incense while you’re cooking, reading a book, having a bath, meditating, or in any other way relaxing can be so beneficial.
You’ll be feeling as right as rain in no time at all. Additionally, the strong scent of eucalyptus is even said to be helpful in repelling insects.
From a spiritual standpoint, eucalyptus is essential for managing so many aspects of your life. Due to the purifying nature of eucalyptus, it’s a fantastic way to add protective and cleansing energies to your aura and reduce the impact of any negative ones.
It’s stated that eucalyptus can even stimulate visions, so if you’re going through a transformation phase in your life, burning some eucalyptus during your spiritual practices may help to amplify your clarity and the benefits you receive.
What’s more, eucalyptus incense is incredibly effective when you’re dealing with bad smells or odors. Dealing with gone-off food in the back of a cupboard? Smelly shoes or trainers?
Wet pets? Never fear, as eucalyptus incense can not only help to mask the smell but can even help to eliminate bad odors completely. That’s one fantastic power plant you can enjoy anywhere in your home!
