Said honestly
Eucalyptus oil is advertised for colds and breathing, but we make no health promises and it is not a medicine. The most important point is safety: never use it on or near the face of infants and small children, dilute well and keep it away from eyes and animals. With complaints, see a doctor. We give you the facts, the decision stays with you.
