Eucalyptus is commonly used with success for bronchitis, coughs and rheumatism.
Eucalyptus has a variety of other uses for which its effectiveness remains unproven. Among them are bladder, liver, and gallbladder conditions, whooping cough, fever, flu, hoarseness, asthma, diabetes, scarlet fever, measles, sinus conditions, loss of appetite, wounds, acne, bleeding gums, sore mouth, nerve pain, poorly healing sores, worms, gonorrhea, and digestive complaints. In Asia, it is also used for headache, bad breath, threadworm, and tuberculosis.
Eucalyptus is the signature tree of Australia, but can now be found in subtropical regions throughout the world. With a distinctive silver-gray bark and twisted trunk, some species of Eucalyptus grow as high as a 12-story building. The medicinal properties of Eucalyptus reside in its oil, which is extracted from the fresh leaves and branch tips, and is found in the dried leaves. It acts as a decongestant, loosens phlegm, and relieves spasms. Applied to the skin, the oil improves local circulation. In laboratory tests, the oil has shown an ability to kill bacteria and fungi. Like the similar soothing agents menthol and camphor, Eucalyptus is found in several familiar over-the-counter remedies, including Listerine Antiseptic Mouthrinse, Mentholatum Cherry Chest Rub, and Vicks VapoRub.
Eucalyptus is also known as Blue Gum and Red Gum.

Directions
Fresh drawn, boiling water contains the most oxygen, thereby giving the fullest taste to tea. Water that has been boiling for some time looses the oxygen and thereby the best taste.
Allow full expansion during the infusion and easy removal after the time for steeping has elapsed.
Draw into a tea pot or kettle the best fresh water that you have available.
Warm the teapot and cups while the water is boiling.
Cautions
Do not take Eucalyptus if you have digestive problems, a disorder of the biliary duct, or liver disease.
In rare cases, taking Eucalyptus can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
