Eucalyptus Information:

Eucalyptus essential oil is colorless and has a distinct taste and odor. Though eucalyptus essential oil has most of the properties of a typical volatile oil, it was not very popular as an aromatherapy oil as it was little known before a few centuries. Eucalyptus essential oil is obtained from fresh leaves of the tall evergreen eucalyptus tree. The tree is also known as fever tree, blue gum tree, or stringy bark tree. Eucalyptus is native to Australia but has spread to many other parts of the world including India, Europe and South Africa. Due to its many medicinal uses it is used in a variety of over the counter drugs including rubs, inhalers, liniments, rash creams, and mouthwashes.
