History
The Aborigines have been reported to have used the eucalyptus tree, for all manner o of remedies although how they used it would vary from tribe to tribe. The antiseptic leaves were burned to fumigate the sick and the vapours inhaled for the relief of asthma, colds and fever. Infusions were taken internally for stomach upsets, and the fresh leaves were applied directly to ease joint pain and speed up the healing of cuts, wounds and infections.
When eucalyptus essential oil became available in Europe it has been reported to have been used to help treat asthma, bronchitis, croup, fevers and febrile conditions, pulmonary tuberculosis, scarlet fever, sore throats, whooping-cough, and even diphtheria and typhoid. Eucalyptus oil was added to the British Pharmacopoeia where it still remains to this day.
