Eucalyptus: The Story Behind Its Name and Origins

The name “eucalyptus” derives from the Greek word “ευ” (good) and the verb “καλύπτω” (to cover), referring to the protective cap that surrounds its developing flowers. Native to distant Australia, eucalyptus cultivation spread to Europe in the 18th century.

The Aboriginal people of Australia, familiar with the properties of eucalyptus, used it in several ways:

Roots: Chewed to quench thirst, as they can retain vast amounts of water.
Leaves: Boiled to make a tea that reduced fevers.
Solid resin: Extracted from the tree’s trunk and leaves and consumed for sustenance.

When England established Australia as a penal colony, sending prisoners to the region, the new settlers were unaware that eucalyptus roots could provide water. Tragically, many died of thirst under the shade of eucalyptus trees.

French immigrants who suffered from fever were cured by drinking eucalyptus tea, solidifying the tree’s reputation as an excellent antipyretic. By 1860, eucalyptus leaves and oil were widely used in the Mediterranean region to treat malaria, which had plagued the area since ancient times.

This remarkable history showcases the eucalyptus as both a natural remedy and a symbol of resilience.
