Diffusing eucalyptus oil and breathing it in will cure a cold.

One of my previous roommate's mom was big into the holistic medicine scene and raised her kids to think medical doctors are frauds. He had these elaborate oil sets that he would use in his diffuser to treat any symptoms he was having. I had a really bad cold one time and he brought his diffuser into my room and put eucalyptus oil in there to "cure me", but turns out I'm allergic to eucalyptus and it made me far worse.
