Eucalyptus Radiata

Eucalyptus radiata

Eucalyptus radiata is an Australian tree with a bluish grey trunk which may reach thirty metres and belongs to the Myrtaceae family.

A closed shell hides the flower stamens which come out when they grow, which gave the tree its Greek name (eu ”well”, kaluptos ”covered”). The leaves have oil glands and can capture solar energy on each of their faces, which makes them secrete an abundant nectar.

Main aromatic molecules: Monoterpene oxides (1,8-cineole or eucalyptol), monoterpenes and monoterpenols (α-terpineol).
Family: Myrtaceae.
Productive organs: Leaves and branches.
Yield: 2kg of essential oil per 100kg of plants.
Equivalence: 1ml → 32 drops (dosage calculated for a calibrated dropper European Pharmacopoeia).

”The fever tree”, which has the rare virtue of cleansing its surroundings, was discovered in Australia in 1792 by the French naturalist Julien Houtou de La Billardière, who accompanied La Perouse and wrote an account of the expedition. Aboriginals used its leaves to treat their wounds and fevers. Its introduction in Europe dates back to 1856 when the commercial product started in the Australian state of Victoria. Eucalyptus was used to dry out and clean malaria-infested marsh regions as it absorbs large quantities of water and releases strongly anti-infectious emissions, thus one of its names Eucalyptus salubris.
