Under "Monographs", and under the topic of "Eucalyptus", it states: "Eucalyptus is one of the most commonly used essential oils. You could write a book on all its uses. There are over 700 varieties of eucalyptus, some growing up to 500 feet, and they all possess similar properties. It is currently used in many allopathic medical preparations. It is one of the three best oils for use with any respiratory tract problem because the component eucalyptol is mucolytic (it relaxes the flow of mucous) and it excretes the eucalyptol out through the lung surface. Even if you take it internally in tea form, eucalyptus will very quickly pass out of the body through the lungs, having its relaxing effect to the mucous membranes. As it is inhaled, it gives an immediate effect; then again as it circulates out of the body."

Under "Indications:", it states: "asthma, bronchitis, throat, sinus, kidney and bladder infections, fever, angina, rheumatism, neuritis, sore muscles, sluggishness, little intellectual enthusiasm, emotional overload, skin blemishes, acne, dandruff, tuberculosis, malaria, herpes simplex, skin ulcers, insect bits"
