Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus is an evergreen tree commonly found in Australia and comprised of long-narrow bluish-green leaves and is known as Blue Gum or Tasmanian Blue Gum. It has a long standing history for its use in native Australian medicine, and is widely known to help with respiratory and sinus issues.
