The presence (40-50%) of the harmless ketone piperitone makes this oil contraindicated for babies and pregnant women. This oil is antibacterial, antiinfectious, antiviral and mucolytic. It is effective for bronchitis where fluidifying the mucous is desired. Mix with Eucalyptus radiata to create a balanced, effective blend. It is cicatrizant (wound healing), antifungal (Candida), and useful in arthritis, muscular aches and pains, rheumatism, sports injuries and strains. A blend of Eucalyptus dives, Inula, Rosemary verbenone and Peppermint is very useful and effective for sinus infection and congestion.
