The health benefits of eucalyptus tea
Eucalyptus is high in flavonoids, a group of naturally occurring antioxidants that are found in many fruits, vegetables, and herbs. A 2019 study found that consuming a flavonoid-rich diet may protect against chronic illnesses such as cancer, dementia, and heart disease, though more research is needed to understand the scope of the claim, as well as the correlation between drinking eucalyptus tea and fighting chronic illness.
Even if the studies that draw a direct correlation between drinking eucalyptus and chronic illness are not extended, there are a lot of studies that do so in relation to the flavonoids that are the antioxidants found in eucalyptur.
While there’s no scientific proof that drinking eucalyptus tea will prevent colds and flus altogether, there’s enough evidence to show that it certainly is beneficial for the immune system. Fear not: In the unfortunate event that you’re already fighting off a cold, drinking eucalyptus tea will still help reduce congestion.
There are studies that show that eucalyptus leaves tea has antimicrobial effect against many types of bacteria.
“Application by either vapor inhalation or oral route provides benefit for both purulent and non-purulent respiratory problems, such as bronchitis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),” according to studies.
