Originally referred to as “eucalyptol” by the scientific community, the health benefits of eucalyptus oil come from a chemical now known as cineole — an organic compound shown to hold astounding, widespread medicinal effects, including everything from reducing inflammation and pain to killing leukemia cells!
At the time I wrote this article, over 1,200 scientific research studies were conducted referring to cineole, and the results are simply amazing.
Although eucalyptus has the highest known cineole levels of any plant (up to 80–95 percent), scientists have discovered that several other plants have significant levels ofcineole as well:
- Cannabis
- Cardamom
- Ginger
- Helichrysum
- Peppermint
- Rosemary
- Tea tree
