Abstract

Eucalyptus globulus, a well-known species, has a wealth of therapeutic potential. The Eucalyptus globulus species, sometimes known as blue gum, thrives well in the Nilgiris, Annamalai, Palani, and Shimla hills. It has a high concentration of phytochemical elements like as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannin, and propanoid, which are found in the plant's leaves, steam, and root. Eucalyptus is extensively planted for pulp, plywood, solid wood production but its leaf aromatic oil has astounding wide spread biological activities including antimicrobial, antiseptic, antioxidant, chemotherapy agent, anticancer Cytochrome p450, Hepatoprotective effect, respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders treatment, wound healing, and insecticidal/insect repellent, herbicidal, acaricidal, nematocidal, and perfumes, soap making and grease remover. In this study, we attempted to compile the biological components of leaf essential oil, leaf oil as a natural medicine, and the pharmacological and toxicological properties of several Eucalyptus species from around the world. The elements of Eucalyptus will disclose secrets beyond the traditional benefits for treating a wide range of diseases.
