Eucalyptus EO

I have a bottle of Eucalyptus essential oil on hand for when people around here get sick.

I had originally planned on putting it in our humidifyer, but now see that there is no well to put it in.

I thought maybe I could just rub some of it on the chest instead, but assume I would need to dilute it with oil first.

Any recipes, ratios, or suggestions for me?

Thanks!

I sometimes put a couple drops in a mug of hot water and then just breathe the steam.

You can use coconut oil as a carrier oil for when you want to put it directly on the skin.
