Indications: Eucalyptus is native to Australia and India, where it comprises more than 75% of all trees. The leaves are cooling to the body and inhaling the vapors of the essential oils heated in water quickly clears sinus and bronchial congestion. It is wonderful for promoting healthy skin because of its ability to reduce oil production and dry the tissue. Eucaliptol, one of the substances found in the essential oil, is one of the main constituents of the many existing commercial formulas of chest rubs for colds. You will find eucalyptus as a common ingredient in many over-the-counter cold remedies.
