Eucalyptus oil is obtained from the leaves of the eucalyptus tree. These trees are also known as fever trees, blue gum trees or stringy bark trees. Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia, but in recent history years have spread throughout other parts of the world including India, Europe and South Africa. Eucalyptus oil is often used for medicinal purposes for both natural remedies and over-the-counter drugs. The health benefits of eucalyptus oil include the following:
~ Respiratory problems: Cold, cough, runny nose, sinus pain relief, sore throat asthma, nasal congestion, and bronchitis can all be helped by the oil.
~ Wounds: The oil is a good antiseptic owing to its germicidal properties. Ulcers, burns, cuts, abrasions, and sores heal faster when treated with eucalyptus oil.
~ Dental care: Eucalyptus oil is very effective against cavities, dental plaques, gingivitis, and other dental infections due to its germicidal properties.
