Re: Using eucalyptus with CPAP for persistent blocked nose

Your Noah's Ark of venemous creatures definitely trumps my skunk. Our only marsupial is the opossum--ugly, but harmless. lol. I guess it's a case of the devils you know being better. We live in the "bush" (aka forest or woods to non-locals) surrounded by wildlife - and I love it and them. We really...

The one thing that clears sinuses fastest is eau de skunk.
Why would it have to be something really horrible?
hahahaha! I think I would prefer my sinuses to blocked instead of needing to smell that! At least we don't have any Pepé Le Pews in Australia. lol

Re: Using eucalyptus with CPAP for persistent blocked nose

Just going by patients in our office for whom it was prescribed..... they complained quite loudly! believe me, i would too! but then i'm a wimp who doesn't like much of anything spicy. Agreed! Even externally, I am no fan--tried some for arthritis--only once! Very unpleasant. I do know that when I ...

Re: Using eucalyptus with CPAP for persistent blocked nose

I am someone with a horribly blocked nose and currently trying to problem-solve it like it’s my full-time job. I really feel for you. It’s profoundly frustrating. This is not what you asked, but it made me think. Since the benefit of eucalyptus is sensory — it activates neurons that make your nose ...

Re: Using eucalyptus with CPAP for persistent blocked nose

While there is a study suggesting the benefits of Eucalyptus oil https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5687727/, The dose makes the poison: https://www.rch.org.au/clinicalguide/guideline_index/Eucalyptus_Oil_Poisoning/ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/epi4.12065 So the questi...

Re: Using eucalyptus with CPAP for persistent blocked nose

Do what works for you as there is no research on this subject that I’m aware of. I have an essential oil diffuser that attaches to the hose. I only use is a few times a year when my nose gets stuffy and in my situation have no need for it any other time. For a persistent blocked nose perhaps it is ...

Do what you like with your health.

I believe the reason that you're not finding that any research is being conducted on this is because it's not safe to inhale eucalyptus vapors all night long. People don't do this because it's not safe. What more do you need?
OK. Thank you.

Using eucalyptus with CPAP for persistent blocked nose

I am specifically seeking authentic research - not hearsay or poor research. Rather than just telling me "NO!" and mimicking what you've heard, would someone, please, kindly share with me actual research that proves that using eucalyptus oil in or near your CPAP machine is bad for your HEALTH? At th...
