Eucalyptus leaf, cut & sifted, Organic, 1 ounce

Eucalyptus globulus is an evergreen tree native to Australia with leathery, aromatic, blue-green leaves. Eucalyptus is very fast growing and can reach towering heights. For thousands of years, Australian aborigines used eucalyptus leaf. 

Eucalyptus is naturalized to California and the Mediterranean countries. Its leathery blue-green leaves are studded with glands containing a fragrant, volatile oil. There are many species of eucalyptus trees, but the most pleasant-smelling oil is produced by Eucalyptus globulus. Typical preparations include facial or hydro-steams, aromatherapy, and more. Eucalyptus oil acts on nerve receptors in the mucosa of the nose and sinuses in a way that appears to cause the release of mucus.

Eucalyptus belongs to the Myrtaceae family and also goes by the name ribbon gum and shining gum.
