History
Both Western and Eastern medicine have used Eucalyptus for its support
of the respiratory system, and it is a popular ingredient for cough
and throat medicine and chest ointments.
Traditional folk medicine has used its cooling effect to ease feverish
conditions. There is another historic reason why Eucalyptus is also
commonly called "Fever tree": When the British colonists came
to Australia, they found that planting Eucalyptus groves helped to keep
insects and thereby contagious diseases at bay. Being highly water-hungry
plants, the Eucalyptus trees also aided in drying out waterlogged, marshy
soils, turning them into arable land, and reducing the breeding grounds
for mosquitoes.
Today 75% of all
trees grown in Australia are of the Eucalyptus family.
