Eucalyptus, leaves, cut, organic - 100g

Eucalyptus globulus Labill., cut leaves, certified organic

The leaves of the eucalyptus tree, a genus of plants in the myrtle family, are characterised by their intense, aromatic scent, which is due to the essential oil they contain, especially eucalyptol. They are typically lanceolate, leathery and range in colour from blue-green to silver-grey, often with a waxy surface. Botanically, they are adapted to dry, nutrient-poor locations and effectively regulate water evaporation.

Indications

for respiratory diseases, coughs, colds.

Use

Pour 1/4 litre of boiling water (ideally 80°C) over 1-2 teaspoons of eucalyptus leaves, leave to steep for 5-10 minutes and then strain. 1-3 cups of this tea can be drunk daily without concern.
