SolNatus Eucalyptus Tea 50g

Eucalyptus is a plant widely used for the treatment of flu, colds, rhinitis, sinusitis, adenitis, tonsillitis, asthma, bronchitis, runny nose, pneumonia, tuberculosis, fever, intestinal worms, acne, bad breath and muscle pain, due to its medicinal properties, which are:

• Expectorant;
• Anti-inflammatory;
• Decongestant;
• Immunity stimulator;
• Vermifuge.

In addition, eucalyptus essential oil, extracted from the leaves, contains cineole which has balsamic and antiseptic properties, being very useful in the treatment of bronchitis and for eliminating phlegm from the airways.

Although it's a great home remedy for treating respiratory illnesses, inhaling eucalyptus leaves shouldn't be used by children under 12 years old , as it can lead to allergies and shortness of breath. Furthermore, eucalyptus preparations shouldn't be applied to babies' faces, so it's important to consult a pediatrician in these cases.
