Details:

Evergreen eucalyptus trees are native to Australia, but they have naturalized in California and the nations of the Mediterranean. It has blue-green leaves that are leathery and covered in glands that secrete a fragrant, volatile oil. There are many different eucalyptus tree species, but Eucalyptus globulus produces the oil with the best aroma. Aromatherapy, face or hydro-steams, and teas are common preparations. Encapsulation or extracts may be used, but we have only occasionally seen these. Mucus is released as a result of eucalyptus oil's action on nerve receptors in the sinus and nasal mucosa.

Eucalyptus, commonly known as ribbon gum and sparkling gum, is a member of the Myrtaceae family.
