eucalyptus

Aromatic Australian tree

Eucalyptus is a genus of trees native to Australia, known for aromatic leaves that produce a pungent oil used in medicines and cleaning products.

The trees grow tall with distinctive peeling bark.

Koalas feed almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves.

The oil clears congestion: eucalyptus cough drops, a few drops of eucalyptus in the humidifier.
