Yellow Box Eucalyptus

About Yellow Box Eucalyptus

Yellow Box Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus melliodora) is a herb used in the Aboriginal Australian Medicine tradition to help with Respiratory Issues, Fever, Headache, and Wound Healing. The leaves and essential oil are the parts traditionally used, used both internally and topically.

Botanical background

Eucalyptus melliodora, commonly known as yellow box, is a medium-sized to occasionally tall eucalypt. The bark is variable ranging from smooth with an irregular, short stocking, to covering most of the trunk, fibrous, dense or loosely held, grey, yellow or red-brown, occasionally very coarse, thick, dark brown to black; shedding from the upper limbs to leave a smooth, white or yellowish surface.
