The Eucalyptus tree is native to Australia. There they are known as gum trees, due to the fact that they produce a sticky substance that is rich with tannins kino. This tree also is known as a fever tree. This is because in the 1800s, British settlers noticed the fragrant and medicinal odor that came from groves of eucalyptus trees. They were planted in areas that had problems with tropical fever all through the British Empire.

Another benefit to the colonists was that the trees would often dry out swampy soils with their large root systems. This made the swampy soils into usable farm land. Later, it was discovered that oil extracted from the tree has many useful purposes, particularly to treat pain in the body.

Today the Eucalyptus tree is used mainly for medicinal, industrial and perfumery oils. The main active ingredient in eucalyptus oil for medicinal purposes is called cineol or eucalyptol.

Eucalyptus oil is extracted via steam distillation of fresh branches and leaves. People who know the sweet aroma of the fresh Eucalyptus tree often are baffled by the more medicinal odor from the extracted oil. This is because of the major chemical changes that happen when steam heat is applied to the tree parts.
