Eating, loving, singing and digesting are, in truth, the four acts of the comic opera known as life, and they pass like bubbles of a bottle of champagne. Whoever lets them break without having enjoyed them is a complete fool.

Eucalyptus Radiata has a sweet, soft scent and is used for infections higher in the respiratory tract. It is highly effective when used with Ravansara aromatica, against colds, flu and sinusitis.A refreshing camphorus oil with a scent that is lighter than Eucalyptus Globulus. Patricia Davis says this is the most useful Eucalyptus as it has a pleasant smell and is easily assimilated. It has many of the same uses as Eucalyptus Globulus but it is milder in its chemical composition and gentler in action. Despite its mild chemical composition, it is highly anti-bacterial and anti-viral. Eucalyptus Radiata has been proven effective in laboratory tests against many viruses, including staphylococci. It is also a powerful decongestant: in chronic and acute bronchitis it reduces the swelling of mucus membranes, loosens phlegm and increases the oxygen supply to restricted cells.
