Eucalyptus Leaf (Eucalyptus Globulus)

The breath-opener — clearing airways, fighting infection, and cooling inflammation with every cup.

Eucalyptus leaf (Eucalyptus globulus) is one of the most recognisable medicinal plants in the world, its sharp, camphorous scent synonymous with respiratory relief. The leaves are rich in cineole (eucalyptol) — a powerful compound clinically proven to reduce airway inflammation, break down mucus, and inhibit respiratory pathogens. Used across Aboriginal Australian, Chinese, and European traditions, eucalyptus leaf is an essential herb for anyone dealing with congestion, sinusitis, or respiratory infections.

Key Benefits
Airway opening & decongestant · Mucus clearance · Antibacterial & antiviral · Sinus relief · Anti-inflammatory · Fever reduction

How to Use
Steep 1 tsp dried eucalyptus leaf in 250ml hot water for 5–10 mins, covered (to retain volatile oils). Drink 1–2 cups daily. Strong, cooling, camphorous flavour — a little goes a long way. Alternatively, add to a bowl of hot water and inhale the steam for instant sinus relief. Do not use essential oil internally.

When to Expect Results
Decongestant & sinus relief: within hours (steam inhalation) or 1–3 days (tea) · Respiratory infection support: 5–10 days · Chronic respiratory conditions: 3–6 weeks.

Who It's For
• Sinus congestion & sinusitis
• Colds, flu & chest infections
• Asthma & bronchitis (adjunct support)
• Fever & inflammatory conditions
• Oral health (antibacterial mouthwash)

Who Should Avoid
• Children under 2 — avoid; strong cineole content
• Epilepsy — high doses may lower seizure threshold
• On liver-metabolised medication — may affect drug metabolism
• Pregnant or nursing — consult GP

Storage
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Best used within 12–18 months to preserve volatile oils.
