About
Eucalyptus essential oil is one of the best-selling essential oils in the world. It is a must-have essential oil for every medicine cabinet. Prized for its lung expansion and anti-congestion ability, eucalyptus essential oil is commonly added to steam rooms and saunas to clear the lungs. Eucalyptus is a traditional medicine of the Australian and Tasmanian natives as they prized the leaves for its vulnerary effects, the reduction of fever, and its anti-infectious properties. The burning of eucalyptus leaves was one of the earliest forms of fumigation, a technique the aborigines would employ to ward off insects.
