Eucalyptus Oil: The eucalyptus oil comes from the eucalyptus tree. About the plant itself:
- Appearance: Tree up to 40m tall, whose leaves change shape with age, from initially oval to the typical sickle shape
- Occurrence: Australia and Tasmania
Eucalyptus oil stimulates the fine hairs of the upper respiratory tract to move faster . This makes it easier to remove stubborn mucus and makes it easier to cough up. At the same time, eucalyptus reduces coughing spasms. Because of these properties, eucalyptus oil is used to treat colds.
Furthermore, eucalyptus oil applied externally is supposed to stimulate blood circulation and relieve pain and can therefore also be used for pain in the musculoskeletal system.
