Eucalyptus has long been used as a household remedy in Australia for

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.
