Natural Disinfectant
This plant is known to protect wounds from infection, clean the air and give you some ease. We are dubbing it a power plant. It reduces inflammation and promotes healing. We think we all need this.
-
High in Antioxidants
We don’t suggest ingesting it because - save in reality, only Koalas know exactly how much to eat the leaves directly. However, for adults, it is safe to dry the leaves and steep it in a warm comfy cup of tea. Please look for “eucalyptus tea leaves”.The main flavonoids in eucalyptus include catechins, isorhamnetin, luteolin, kaempferol, phloretin, and quercetin.

Treats Dry Skin
Using eucalyptus may increase ceramide content - this is a fatty acid in your skin that’s responsible for maintaining its barrier and retaining moisture. So do you have dry skin, dandruff, or a skin disorder? You probably have low ceramide - protect it!
