I've heard of treating RI with eucalyptus oil, but eucalyptus is very aromatic. I would be concerned that it would irritate his lungs like pine or cedar would. I've heard of people treating RI with eucalyptus, but I wouldn't risk it.
The best treatment you can do is to find the cause of his symptoms and fix that. Check your husbandry against what's recommended in our care guide and correct where there is a discrepancy. Post a pic and description of your enclosure (heating elements, temps and humidity ranges, thermostats) and we'll be happy to give you suggestions for improvement.
Set up that vet appointment right away. RI's are much easier to treat if caught early. Your bp has other issues as well. Don't worry about feeding him. He's sick. Leave him alone until you can get him to see a vet.
I'm sorry you're going through this. I know how distressing having a sick pet can be. Try to relax. A distressed mind makes poor decisions. Good luck.
