The blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) is a species of Eucalyptus that belongs to the Myrtaceae plant family, which has over 600 varieties. Originally native to Australia, this tree is now found in many countries, including Spain, China and Portugal. These trees can grow up to 90 metres tall and are recognisable by their silvery blue-green leaves and greyish bark. The leaves of this tree are rich in Eucalyptol, with the essential oil itself containing around 70% eucalyptol. The native populations of Australia and New Zealand have used this tree's leaves for centuries as a herbal medicine to treat fever and infections.
