What is Eucalyptus?

Perhaps best known as the primary source of food for koalas, eucalyptus oil is created from the aerial leaves and branches of the eucalyptus tree (Eucalyptus globulus). The history of use of eucalyptus oil dates back to aboriginal tribes in Australia, who understood and made great use of the properties of the plant. These tribes used eucalyptus leaves in teas & the oil topically, delivering onto themselves eucalyptus’ rich supply of tannins and flavonoids (antioxidants that are derived from plants).

This tradition of using eucalyptus quickly spread throughout many traditional health practices, from Chinese to Ayurvedic, Greek to European. The herb even found its way into 19^th century English hospitals, where it was used primarily as a cleaning agent for medical devices and instruments. The plant’s popularity grows even today, as eucalyptus oil is found in many ointments. Typically in these products, the ingredient is listed as 1,8-cineole or eucalyptol, which is the key component responsible for the wellness benefits of the plant.
