Eucalyptus has long been used as a household remedy in Australia for
treating everything from flu and fever to skin and muscle pain. There is
also a history of Eucalyptus being applied to sore muscles and joints.
Eucalyptus has a very herbaceous scent with soft wood undertones --
cooling, refreshing, energizing. Used in skin & hair care, to deodorize
and to keep insects at bay. It is purported to improve breathing and
neutralize bad odors. Eucalyptus should be avoided during pregnancy.
