Summary
Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae), previously native to Australia, grows in both tropical and subtropical climates round the world. Different species of these plants are known, but Eucalyptus globulus is the most studied (Nagpal et al, 2012). In many countries around the world, traditional healers reportedly use the leaves (fresh and dry) of different species of the genus Eucalyptus for asthma, cough colds, flu, sore throats, bronchitis, pneumonia, aching, stiffness, neuralgia, and as an antibiotic (Bajpai et al, 2008; Hutchings et al, 2006; Hopkins-Broyles et al., 2004). The dry leaves are consumed as teas or used in bathing (Chen et al, 2006).
