Kourtney T. –
Out this diffusing when we have stuffy noses & you can breath! Love these oils
Cheyanna H. –
Using this in my son’s diffuser along with lavender, tea tree, and peppermint, has helped him breathe at night when he’s been congested all day. He wakes up feeling better, and well rested. My mom used to boil eucalyptus when i was a kid and i would inhale the steam to help break up congestion and help open up my airways when i was sick. So glad to have found this so I don’t have to try to get a 4 year old to sit still, breathe, and not burn themselves.
Mr. G. –
Great quality essential oil. I have this in my diffuser right now. The packaging of the bottles is wonderful, making it easy to see which oil you are using. I am going to start collecting this brand for my collection. The customer service is super helpful and really quick at responding to any questions you may have. I highly recommend this product.
C. W. –
Great quality oil, with a very strong scent. I use it in my cold steam diffuser. Great for clearing up breathing.
Dondzl –
We have been using the eucalyptus oil in our diffuser off and on for a few weeks now and it is one of our favorites. Not only is it the ideal oil for coming out of cold/flu season and heading into allergy season, but it also makes for a good room deodorizer. The scent is pretty powerful and if you add a few extra drops your entire house will soon smell like a cough drop. That maybe isn’t the most pleasant smell, but it is an effective one, I have used a handful of Davina oils and they are all highly effective and aromatic. I would highly recommend this brand and in specific, this scent for relieving congestion.
Dawn –
I love this Eucalyptus! It is a Radiata which my doctor said is mellower. I’m so glad I tried it. Before I just endured eucalyptus because it is good for me. It is so nice to blend with peppermint. And I just happen to love Davina’s peppermint. And Body Armor. And Rosemary. And Patchouli…..
I have ordered a lot from them and they have never leaked. These use nice thick, quality bottles to go with the quality oil. This is one company I can recommend highly. Essential oils have helped me recover my health. And Davina was a part of that. I need to go and make sure I am stocked up for cold season!! ;)
Irgunr –
I’m new to using essential oils and this brand seemed like a good value. I’m 100% happy so far. I don’t know what you call the piece at the opening of the bottle that lets the drops come out, but it works great and doesn’t leak or let oil drip down like some cheaper ones I have. The smell is amazing. I love using it in my diffuser to help sooth my allergies. I will buy these again!

This Eucalyptus Radiata Essential Oil from Davina Wellness is a beautiful, sharp, true Eucalyptus aroma. It is wonderful for clearing congestion and is an expectorant. My favorite use for it is 15 drops in a 10 ml roller ball bottle filled the rest of the way with carrier oil (I usually use Fractionated Coconut Oil, just because of its especially long shelf life). After shaking well, I apply it to my neck and chest, as well as under my nose, if necessary for congestion. I will also mix about 6 drops of this Eucalyptus Radiata in with a cup or even two of Epsom Salts, which makes for a lovely bath when you are feeling under the weather, clearing and soothing.
I like that this Eucalyptus Radiata Essential Oil by Davina comes in a thick amber glass bottle with an orifice reducer in place, which allows me to dispense just one drop at a time. It arrived with its own built-in tamper-proof plastic ring seal around the bottom of the lid, ensuring me that I had received a pure and untampered with product. The label contains all of the pertinent information, such as ingredients (Eucalyptus radiata from Australia), therapeutic components and properties, storage information, company information, cautions, and third-party tested. I love the bottle top label, since I store mine in a flat wooden box, alphabetized and easy to grab. I appreciate that Davina includes the variety of Eucalyptus on their label, so I know exactly what I am getting.
Davina is one of the several main brands I have grown to love and trust. There are a lot of brands out there. Some are good; Some are not. Davina is excellent and, again, has become one of my favorite brands. This is a truly lovely Eucalyptus Oil, clear and strong. It passes the oil spot test with flying colors (a drop on a piece of paper, let it dry, watch for leftover oiliness, it should not have any). I will definitely be back for more.

I absolutely love Davina’s eucalyptus. I think we are on our third bottle. My kids ask for it any time they feel congested. It is great in the diffuser by itself or paired with other great Davina oils too!

Love to use this oil for many reasons! Mainly when I am feeling a little under the weather. I just recently ran out RIGHT BEFORE catching some small virus and was not a happy camper. I love it for use in bath melts too. Nothing better than a hot, steamy shower with some Eucalyptus.
Brenna H. –
I purchased this to help with seasonal congestion my family was suffering with at the time. IT WORKS! It was such a relief we ended up putting it everywhere: the diffuser, the shower, on our arms….and then we’d walk around with the bottle when our noses started getting stopped up again. A must have for homes looking for congestion relief!
DAVIS –
My husband and I both have allergies and find it difficult to breathe when we go to bed. The eucalyptus, rubbed on the sides and beneath the nose, has been great for allowing us to breathe easier and sleep. We always have a bottle at had.
Krissy –
I use this to make a natural vapor stick. Really helps with congestion!
Kristine H. –
I diffuse this anytime my allergies act up. Wonderful scent.
Amy –
Helps relieve congested feelings
Zuli –
Highest quality oil. Great in the diffuser, burner, and for mixed topical applications.
Deborah H. –
I sought out Davina Oils after purchasing them from a retailer for my practice because of their quality and fair price. I use Eucalyptus to close ever massage.

Cleans the air and the sinus passages! I use it in my pain relief salves as it reduces pain and inflammation too. This is a must-have remedy for anyone’s medicine cabinet or apothecary. It’s a problem preventer and solver!
Shelli S. –
When you are looking for something clean and uplifting, this is the one :)
Marci H. –
I don’t use this as often as I use many other Davina oils but I don’t run out of it either! It smells great, is great in a diffuser with some citrus/lavender and is calming just to smell!
Brent Castle –
good EO. used it to make lip balm
