Eucalyptus Leaves | Australian Tree | Whole | Organic

Description

Eucalyptus contains a compound called eucalyptol, which has been found to decrease nasal congestion, cough frequency, and cold-related headaches. It may also improve asthma symptoms, although more research is needed. It has different names Yukkaalimaram,  Australian Gum tree, Sugandhapatra, Haritaparna Neelaniryaasa,  Triputaa, Saralaa, Suvahaa, Rechani, Nishotraa, Nilgiri, Karpooramaram, Jeevakamu, Yukkaalimaram, Tribhandi
For a cup of Eucalyotus tea, use half a teaspoon of crushed leaves steeped in boiling water for ten minutes and drink it with lemon and honey. Congestion and sore throats will be relieved by the tea. Before drinking the tea, strain out the leaves. Three times a day, drink the tea. To ease congestion, asthma, and other breathing issues, hang a mesh bag filled with Eucalyptus leaves under the hot tap as you run a bath, or pour boiling water over the leaves and hang your head, draped with a towel, over the steaming vapors. Another use for the leaves is to use as a massage oil which can be used to treat skin inflammation and arthritis.
The oil will also repel insects. Fill a jar with the eucalyptus leaves and add your choice of oil such as olive, jojoba, or sweet almond. Place the oil in direct sun for two weeks and then strain the leaves out.
