A cough, headache, body soreness, and clogged nose can all be promptly relieved with eucalyptus
oil because it is an expectorant and has antimicrobial characteristics.
A versatile antibacterial medication called tea tree oil can treat the problem.
On the other hand, thieves oil, which is a mixture of lemon, cinnamon bark, clove, rosemary, and
eucalyptus essential oils, has more advantageous characteristics.
This mixture can provide relief for your throat by acting as an expectorant, an antibacterial, and

vitamin needed when the body is attempting to fight the respiratory infection and recuperate, is
abundant in hibiscus tea (17).
