HISTORY OF USE
Eucalyptus is one of the widest grown and fastest growing trees in the world. It grows up to a height of 100 meters. The scientific name of eucalyptus is eucalyptus globulus. Eucalyptus trees have been planted since ancient times in malaria infested swamps in order to dry the soil due to its enormous water requirement and purify the air at the same time with its highly aromatic leaves that are blue-green in color and are heart shaped when are young and turn long and lance shaped at maturity. There are approximately 200 species of Eucalyptus. The Australian eucalyptus trees were the first trees which brought essential oil that has been used medicinally. It takes about 25 kilograms of young branches and leaves of eucalyptus to produce only 500 grams of essential eucalyptus oil by the process of steam distillation.
Today, many people use eucalyptus oil for its natural disinfectant and pest-deterrent properties.
