Other comments
Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia and are commonly known as gum trees. Since the late 1800s, eucalyptus oil has been used in remedies to treat coughs and other concerns of the respiratory system.

Eucalyptus is a powerful decongestant and expectorant and is therefore useful in inhalations in cases of colds, catarrh, and respiratory infections. It is specific for colds accompanied by chills and thin mucus. Eucalyptus is one of the best oils to use in a diffuser to prevent the airborne transmission of illness.

Massages with eucalyptus can reduce fevers and relieve the pain of muscle strain and rheumatism. Using eucalyptus on the dressing of a wound will speed healing.
