Eucalyptus Oil

This bottle came straight from the local distillery over 45 yrs ago.
Every home should have this amazing natural product which is distilled oil from the leaf
of Eucalyptus a genus of the plant family Mytaceae native to Australia.
Use to reduce coughs, colds, inflamed joints, muscle aches. It is used as a fragrance in soaps and detergents...a few drops in the washing machine or when hand washing pure wool products.

The bottle is the property of Nathan & Wyath Pty Ltd....they were wine merchants :)
