AD naturam Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil is ideal for repelling mosquitoes and is a very good anti-inflammatory. It is also a remarkable pain reliever, particularly for joint and muscle pain. Native to Australia, this tree is found in hill and mountain woods. It has been imported to many regions of the world, including Madagascar and Vietnam. It has the same characteristics as all other eucalyptus: rounded young leaves, lanceolate adults, white flowers with many stamens and a hemispherical, woody fruit. The aborigines of Australia used the sap of Eucalyptus or "gum tree" in direct application or washing on their wounds to hasten healing. The Eucalyptus was also used until the end of the XIXth century to drain the marshy zones of the subtropics. Thus, tropical fevers have been eradicated, such as Malaria. The nickname “fever tree” continues to be used in certain regions of Italy.
