Pharmacological Action

Herbal remedy. Aqueous and alcoholic extracts from eucalyptus leaves exhibit bactericidal, antiviral, fungicidal, antiprotozoal, and anti-inflammatory effects. The degree of their severity depends on the content of essential oil (0.3-4.5%).

The activity of the main component of the essential oil, cineole (65-85%), is potentiated by pinenes, myrtenol, and tannins (up to 6%). When taken orally and in inhalations, eucalyptus preparations cause expectorant, mucolytic, and bronchodilator effects, and when applied to the skin, an astringent, anti-exudative, antipruritic, anesthetic, and, in higher concentrations, locally irritating effect.

The infusion of eucalyptus leaves, due to the essential oil and a small amount of bitters, increases the secretion of the digestive glands and improves digestion. When used in the form of a tincture, a sedative effect is manifested, due to the aldehyde of isovaleric acid.

Chlorophyllipt, containing a mixture of chlorophylls from eucalyptus leaves, has antimicrobial, especially antistaphylococcal, activity and stimulates regeneration processes. Components of the essential oil, together with organic acids, tannins, and trace elements manganese, zinc, and selenium, increase tissue resistance to hypoxia of various origins.
