Distribution regions on the map of Russia.

Procurement of raw materials

The leaves of the eucalyptus tree (Eucalyptus viminalis folia) are used as medicinal raw materials. The raw material is a mixture of leaves of various shapes; the smell is fragrant, the taste is spicy-bitter.

The leaves that have formed in this growing season can be collected no earlier than November, when the content of cineole in the essential oil will be at least 60%. Raw materials are harvested in late autumn, winter or early spring. The leaves are cut with a secateurs or a file, selectively leafy shoots and branches. The raw materials are dried on racks in rooms with good ventilation, scattering up to 10 cm in a layer and stirring occasionally. When drying leaves, the temperature should not exceed 40 ºС.

Chemical composition

Eucalyptus leaves contain: essential oil (up to 3%), consisting of cineol (up to 80%), myrtenol, pinene, aldehydes: isovaleric, caproic, cumic, caprylic; tannins (up to 6%), resins, bitter substance, organic acids, phytoncides, esters. The main active ingredient of the leaves is the essential oil.

Pharmacological properties

Eucalyptus has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, expectorant, fungicidal action. Preparations from eucalyptus leaves are active against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia, tuberculosis mycobacteria, dysenteric amoeba, Trichomonas, pathogenic fungi. The plant also has a mild sedative effect on the central nervous system. When taken orally, eucalyptus essential oil is secreted by the lungs and acts as an expectorant.

Infusion, decoction and tincture of eucalyptus are used for rinsing, inhalation, preparation of wet swabs, lotions. Plant oil is a part of many preparations. It is used to treat furunculosis, erosive and ulcerative lesions of the mucous membranes (in particular, with erosions and ulcers of the cervix), for rubbing with myositis, radiculitis, plexitis and other diseases.

When studying the general pharmacological properties of the leaves of the plant, no noticeable effect on the activity of the heart was noted, with the exception of some cardiotonic action, which manifests itself in a decrease in heart rate and a slight increase in their amplitude.

Application in traditional medicine

Eucalyptus rod-shaped leaves have long been known in folk medicine. For medicinal purposes, decoction, infusion and tincture of eucalyptus are used.

In medicine of the last century, plant preparations were used for malaria, scarlet fever, diphtheria and as an antihelminthic.

Traditional medicine most often resorts to water infusion or alcohol tincture of eucalyptus. These two dosage forms are used in the treatment of acute forms of gastrointestinal diseases, as well as an expectorant in the presence of any inflammatory disease of the respiratory system. Externally, eucalyptus is used as an antimicrobial and antispasmodic agent.

Medicinal properties of eucalyptus spherical have been used by mankind since ancient times. Its antiseptic properties are compared with quinine and are used even where all antibiotics are powerless. Preparations from the plant are created on an industrial scale, and traditional healers include eucalyptus in most antimicrobial collections.

General characteristics of the tree

Eucalyptus grows well in natural conditions, but its great value makes humanity additionally grow a tree. This is not surprising, because the price includes not only leaves, as medicinal raw materials, but also the bark and wood of the plant.

Places of growth

The eucalyptus tree is a fast growing tree. In tropical climates, it can reach 30 m in height in just 15 years. It is actively grown for industrial processing in Africa, America, in the southern part of Europe, as well as in the region of the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. In the wild, eucalyptus grows almost throughout Australia, on the island of Tasmania. These places are considered his homeland.

Eucalyptus globulus prefers moist soil with good drainage. Feels great on the ground with an admixture of sand, clay, small stones. Although eucalyptus is considered a very heat-loving plant, it endures small frosts (down to -8 ° C). With an even greater decrease in temperature, the tree dies, freezing from the root.

What does it look like

Eucalyptus spherical belongs to the number of evergreen plants. In nature, there are trees up to 80 m tall, their diameter reaches two meters. That is, the eucalyptus is quite worthy competition for the American Sequoia both in height and in the massiveness of the trunk. At the same time, the tree simply surprises with its voluminous crown of the correct spherical shape.

• Bark. The trunk and branches of the spherical eucalyptus are covered with bark of medium thickness of an unusual color - white-gray with a blue tint. Deep furrows can be traced on the surface, which are formed as a result of the gradual peeling of the upper layers of the bark. Its parts often hang from the tree, falling off from time to time.
• Leaves. All foliage on a tree is divided into young and old. The first is represented by leaves "sitting" on young shoots, closely embracing them. The color is bright gray, the surface is leathery. Even young leaves are quite large - from 7 to 16 cm long and up to 10 cm wide. It is in the young foliage that the largest amount of essential oil, rich in the antiseptic cineole, accumulates. Large old leaves, thanks to the petiole, turn edge to the sun's rays. They are shiny, dark green in color, have a crescent-lanceolate shape. Sizes reach from 10 to 30 cm long and 3-4 cm wide.
• Flowers. Eucalyptus blooms with light axillary flowers for the first time in October, in the third year of tree growth. Flowering is short.
• Fetus. Presented in a tube-shaped box. It reaches a length of 15 cm, a width of 30 cm. There are several grooves on the surface of the box. Inside is one or two seeds, finally ripening only after a year and a half.

The powerful root system of eucalyptus is able to draw in moisture from a large area. For this quality, the tree is also called the "natural pump" and is planted in marshy places that require drainage.

The process of harvesting leaves

Eucalyptus leaves act as medicinal raw materials. In order to obtain them, wild-growing and specially grown trees are pruned in the fall. Cut branches are carefully folded so as not to damage the sheets. During the collection of raw materials, annual pruning takes place in order to form a dense crown.

The branches, together with the leaves, are tied into small brooms and hung in a shaded place outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Drying, the leaves emit vapors containing phytoncides. They are able to disinfect and purify the air in any room.

Dry branches are wrapped in paper, and on top with a plastic bag. Store in a suspended state for two years in a dry room with good ventilation. If necessary, separate the leaves from the branches, put them in a glass or plastic container and pack them hermetically. Store protected from light. If dryers are used to harvest raw materials, it is necessary to observe a reduced temperature regime of 35 ° C in order to avoid evaporation of the essential oil.

The composition and medicinal properties of eucalyptus

The beneficial properties of eucalyptus, namely its activity against most existing microbes and its anti-inflammatory effect, are due to the multicomponent chemical composition of the leaves:

• essential oil (contains antiseptics and aromatics);
• tannin components;
• bitterness;
• flavonoids (antioxidants and anti-inflammatory);
• minerals (K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cr, Zn);
• coumaric, cinnamic organic acids.

In fact, the chemical composition of eucalyptus globular is much more complicated. One essential oil consists of 40 types of volatile components. It is this extensive natural combination that gives the antimicrobial effect of eucalyptus, comparable to synthetic antibacterial drugs.

pharmachologic effect

In official and folk medicine, the use of eucalyptus leaves accompanies the treatment of a huge list of diseases, because the plant has a number of healing properties that are effective even in complex pathologies.

• Antimicrobial action. It manifests itself due to the content of a large amount of volatile substances that have bacteriostatic, bactericidal, antifungal activity. It has been scientifically proven that preparations with eucalyptus are effective in eliminating the following pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, dysentery amoeba, Trichomonas, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli. A bacteriostatic effect is observed with respect to Pseudomonas aeruginosa and typhoid bacilli. This spectrum of action allows the use of eucalyptus for the treatment of bacterial carriage, infections of the upper respiratory tract, with trophic ulcers, infected wounds, furunculosis, fungal diseases.
• Anti-inflammatory effect. The effect is manifested by the elimination of pathogenic bacteria, as well as due to the presence of flavonoids. At the same time, the normal blood supply to the tissues is restored, and the signs of inflammation (swelling, hyperthermia and soreness) disappear. The anti-inflammatory effect of eucalyptus leaves is actively used to treat skin lesions, as well as internal diseases of an inflammatory nature: gastritis, enterocolitis, pyelonephritis, prostatitis. The elimination of the inflammatory process is accompanied by a wound healing and analgesic effect of the plant.
• Expectorant action. It occurs due to the expansion of the vessels of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. This leads to the normalization of secretory processes in the bronchial mucosa and the improvement of the excretion of viscous sputum. Eucalyptus bactericidal vapors help cleanse the lungs of bacteria that cause bronchitis, pneumonia, pleurisy, and tuberculosis.
• cardiotonic effect. The use of drugs with eucalyptus has a beneficial effect on the work of the heart muscle - its endurance increases, the amplitude of contractions increases, and the supply of oxygen to the myocardium improves. Regular ingestion of eucalyptus products will serve as an excellent prevention of coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, and heart failure.
• sedative effect. Under the influence of essential oils from eucalyptus leaves, a decrease in the excitability of the central nervous system is observed. This effect allows you to eliminate insomnia, increase the body's resistance to stress, neutralize anxiety and depression.
• Influence on digestion. Eucalyptus stimulates the secretion of food juices due to the presence of bitterness. Increases appetite, exhibits mild choleretic and diuretic effects.

The great benefit of eucalyptus lies not so much in the listed effects, but in their combination and strength. The combination of pharmacological properties allows you to significantly speed up the process of recovery in diseases of a bacterial nature.

I brewed the whole mixture at the rate of 1 tbsp. with a slide for 300.0 ml of water. I drank 100.0 ml of warm infusion three times a day for another 2 weeks.

I drank a lot of liquid in a warm form: fruit drink, tea, water, milk with ghee.

Perhaps a lower dosage of elecampane is needed - for me personally, because after I added it to the collection along with anise - on the third day my heart rate dropped, the left side of the shoulder blade was in pain, then at night I felt a strange sensation in the intestines, as if paralyzed him in places. I drank activated charcoal after a while it was released. I didn't drink any more. Now my sister and daughter are treating the same pneumonia according to the same scheme.
