Eucalyptus
globulus is a medium-sized evergreen of the Myrtaceae family. Though
native to Australia and its neighbouring islands, several species of
the Eucalyptus are now cultivated in forestry plantations in temperate
regions throughout the world. Eucalyptus globulus can grow up to 60 ft
tall, with its extensive roots penetrating deep into the ground. The
bark on the lower part of the massive trunk is often rough and brown in
hue, while the upper bark is smooth and pale with a hint of blue.
Mature Eucalyptus globulus bears aromatic white flowers surrounded by
dark green leaves. These leathery leaves contain glands that produce
the highly aromatic oil that the Eucalyptus is best known for.
Eucalyptus globulus is used in many foods and flavours under the label eucalyptol. Many ointments, creams, and cough and cold remedies contain E. globulus due to its expectorant and decongestant properties. Eucalyptus stimulates the immune system and reduces primary inflammation. It is also very refreshing and stimulating for the mind when inhaled and a good remedy for wounds and ulcers Eucalyptus leaves and oil have been used as respiratory remedies in Australia for centuries. Its wood is used as timber production in Spain Properties:
