Eucalyptus essential oil is the one I recommend the most. Be sure that you use a pure essential oil, and never use it directly on the skin or take it orally.

You can blend it with a carrier oil such as sweet almond oil and rub it over the chest to help breathing, or you can burn it in an essential oil burner. You can also add a few drops to liquid soap or shampoo and use in the shower. I have also added Eucalyptus to warm air vaporizer and have even added it to water simmering on the stove. Just do not use if you have epilepsy or high blood pressure
Lemon Eucalyptus Essential oil can be used in a diffuser or applied to the body to repel mosquitoes. If you plan to apply it to the body, mix with a carrier oil (olive or sunflower are good household options) essential oils are strong and can irritate the skin if not blended.

You start by placing the desired amount of carrier oil into your non-dominant hand, then add equal drops of essential oil. Then with the dominant hand mix the oils together in three clockwise circles. Now you are ready to place it on your body.
