Ayurveda Properties
Eucalyptus Oil (नीलगिरी का तेल), known as Tailaparna (तैलपर्ण) in Sanskrit, is a potent Ayurvedic ingredient cherished for its antiseptic (रोगाणुरोधी), anti-inflammatory (सूजनरोधी), and refreshing properties (ताज़गी देने वाले गुण)। Extracted from Eucalyptus leaves, this aromatic oil clears congestion (जकड़न), soothes muscle pain (मांसपेशियों का दर्द), and promotes radiant skin (चमकती त्वचा)। Its invigorating aroma also reduces stress (तनाव) and uplifts the mind (मन को प्रफुल्लित करता है)।
In Ayurveda, Eucalyptus Oil is recognized for its Kapha-balancing (कफ संतुलन) and Vata-pacifying (वात को शांत करना) properties. Its warming nature (उष्ण) makes it an excellent remedy for respiratory issues (श्वसन समस्याएं), joint pain (जोड़ों का दर्द), and cleansing energy channels (श्रोतों को शुद्ध करना)।
