Eucalyptus Globulus Oil Profile

	Eucalyptus Oil General - Eucalyptus is a tall, aromatic evergreen tree of the myrtle family, native to Australia and Tasmania, and valued for the timber, gum and oil. Some seeds, having been sent to France in 1857, were planted in Algiers and thrived exceedingly well. Five years after planting the Eucalyptus, one of the most marshy and unhealthy districts of Algiers was converted into one of the healthiest and driest. As a result, the rapidly growing Eucalyptus trees are now cultivated in many temperate regions with the view of preventing malarial fevers. To the remarkable drainage afforded by its roots is also ascribed the gradual disappearance of mosquitoes in the neighborhood of plantations of this tree, as at Lake Fezara in Algeria.
