                        All About Eucalyptus

                        Eucalyptus is an Australian tree with many species variations. This plant as well as its constituent, 1,8-cineole, have been heavily researched as an antimicrobial, insect repellent, and insecticide. There have also been studies on the herb to aid in respiratory complaints, although it may inappropriate to use with asthma and children. Eucalyptus oil is found in many over-the-counter respiratory remedies, including cough drops, chest rubs, and salt baths.
