Healing of the respiratory system:-

 Medicines containing eucalyptus extract are the most effective when it comes to sore throats, asthma, coughs, and colds. To relieve congestion it is advised for a eucalyptus ointment to be rubbed on the chest and back. Additionally, if the congestion is persistent, then try boiling leaves in a tightly covered pot. Inhalation of the resulting steam is the most effective remedy for the nose.

Healing cuts, insect bites, and burns:-

 As an antiseptic, eucalyptus oil can be used topically to reduce the risk of infection and induce the healing.

Remedy for muscle and joint pain:-

 As known to reduce pain and relax muscles, eucalyptus ointments can be applied to the painful spot for a quick relief.

At one time, eucalyptus was thought to be a valuable treatment for diabetes. Although it does appear to cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels, research continues regarding the exact benefits, if any, for diabetics. 

Household Uses-

Soaps and cleansers – Commonly found in household cleaners, eucalyptus offers a healthy aroma and strong cleansing abilities. It is often used in spas and saunas for both refreshment and cleansing purposes.

Spot and stain remover – There are companies that sell the oil for such purposes, claiming that it doesnt leave a stain and removes tough stains such as gum and ink.

Carpet cleaner – In a less concentrated form than the spot remover, eucalyptus spray can be used as a natural carpet cleaner without drenching the carpet.

Doing laundry – Adding a teaspoon of oil to heavily soiled loads may clean and refresh them.

Garden spray – You can use this spray directly on the base of plants to keep pets away.

*Environmental uses-

Eucalyptus is truly a wonder tree that helps in restoration of health in humans as well as the planet.

At TreeCoin we are putting the trees benefits to use by planting it where it is most needed. Due to heavy deforestation in the Paraguayan area, many lands lack greenery. 

Animals, as well as people, suffer in many different ways. Thus, through afforestation with eucalyptus trees and bringing back the forests of Paraguay, we can reduce the global warming issues. 

For instance, it will help animals find natural shelter, and enable people to reap the health benefits of the eucalyptus plant.
