Used with steam it is a popular way to deal with the congestion caused by common colds and nowadays it is a common ingredient in many medicinal products such as rubs, inhalers, creams and mouthwashes.

Eucalyptus is stimulating to the mind and helpful for concentration & focus, and a popular oil to aid study or when the mind is tired and needs boost.

Eucalyptus trees colloquially called “gums” as early settlers noted that some species of trees exuded a sticky gum. Aborigines used this gum to fasten barbs to the end of spears and fishing sticks. The term “gum tree” was first used by Captain James Cook in his journal in 1770.
