Eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) is a natural compound found in eucalyptus, rosemary, and cardamom oils, known for its cooling, minty flavor. Traditionally used by Indigenous Australians and explorers for wound healing and respiratory relief, it’s now common in medicines and oral care. Eucalyptol helps ease respiratory issues, reduce inflammation, and fight bacteria and fungi. Used in aromatherapy, it also boosts mental clarity. Overuse may cause nausea or dizziness.
