Does anyone use eucalyptus tea to help with their COPD?

  1. Hi irbossman - Great question! Hopefully you'll get some responses from community members that have tried it. Personally I've known a couple people that thought it really helped open their airways when they felt short of breath. However, a word of caution - Eucalyptus can be very concentrated and when it is, it's very strong. A person would need to be careful that it didn't have the opposite effect due to the strong smell.
    Do you have a essential oil diffuser? That may help to dilute it enough, providing you only use a few drops.
    Let us know if you give it a try.
    Best,
