Herb of the Week: Eucalyptus or gum tree
Herb of the Week: Eucalyptus or gum tree Native to Australia, eucalyptus trees hold
antiseptic properties in their distinctively scented leaves.
Eucalyptus extracts are used to treat sicknesses such as colds,
coughs and chest infections, and are common ingredients in
medicines. In Australia, where acres and acres of eucalypts grow
together, a blue haze can be seen over the trees as the oils are
released from their leaves in the hot sun. Eucalypts can be grown
in B.C., and can reach heights of 22.5 metres (75 feet).
