When I was in California last month, I stopped to enjoy some eucalyptus trees. I had forgotten that they are everywhere in California. Lofty and captivating, its smell is clean and antiseptic like the scent from a medicine cabinet. Medicine is found in its oils which has been used to cure everything from an upset stomach to a nasty laceration. Doctors and primitive cultures have both used it as a healer.
I picked some of the leaves and brought them home with me. I dried them then crushed them, and made some wonderful eucalyptus soap with them. It is of great use in skin care, as it protects the skin from the clutches of inflammation, wounds and eruptions
It soothes aches, pains, sprains, wounds, sores. Helps eases headaches, and acts as a natural insect repellant. Eucalyptus helps with poor circulation, and the upper respiratory tract. It is a powerful antibacterial, and can aid in killing airborne bacteria.
