Traditional Use: Used by Aboriginal Australians for centuries as a wound healer, fever remedy, and treatment for respiratory infections; adopted widely into European and American medicine in the 19th century as an expectorant, antiseptic, and decongestant for coughs, colds, and bronchitis.
Potential Benefits: 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) delivers well-researched expectorant, mucolytic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and bronchodilatory effects; clinical evidence supports meaningful improvement in sinusitis, bronchitis, asthma, and upper respiratory infections with standardized eucalyptol preparations.
Warnings: Internal use of the essential oil is toxic and potentially fatal even in small doses — never ingest eucalyptus essential oil; dried leaf tea is generally safe at therapeutic doses for healthy adults; avoid in young children, pregnancy, and those with liver disease or epilepsy; may interact with medications metabolized by CYP enzymes.
