Eucalyptus Leaf

Eucalyptus is a tall evergreen tree native to Australia and Tasmania, successfully introduced worldwide, now extensively cultivated in Mediterranean and subtropic regions, including Australia, China, India, Portugal, Spain, Egypt, Algeria, the southern United States, and South America. There are hundreds of species, of which Eucalyptus globulus is the most common. The parts of this plant used medicinally are the leaves, twigs, and oil (resulting from steam distillation of the leaves). Eucalyptus was first used by Australian Aborigines, who not only chewed the roots for water in the dry outback, but also used the leaves as a remedy for fevers.
