Having a DEVIL of a time with pain? Look to this Tasmanian leaf trick
When you’re in pain… ANY kind of pain… it’s tough to concentrate on ANYTHING else.
But you DON’T have to let pain take over your life…
Or keep you from doing the things you love.
Because there’s an ancient Australian “forest secret” that could help BANISH headaches… muscle soreness… joint aches and pains… and more.
You DON’T need a prescription for it…
And you DON’T have to hop a plane to Tasmania to harvest it for yourself, either.
Here’s how easy it is to get… and how simple it is to use.
A ‘koala cure’ for pain
There are HUNDREDS of types of eucalyptus trees native to the lands “down under”… where they’re the preferred snack for koala bears.
But that’s not all.
The Aboriginal tribes of Australia consider eucalyptus a sacred, purifying tree… and have used it as part of their “bush medicine” for AGES!
The rest of the world has FINALLY embraced it for its medicinal qualities…
And in Brazilian folk medicine, eucalyptus leaf oil is a STAPLE of for supporting lung health and treating respiratory infections.
That’s partially due to the anti-inflammatory powers of eucalyptus leaves and oil…
Which also contribute to their ability to CHASE AWAY pain.
In fact, some studies show that simply INHALING eucalyptus essential oil is enough to bring some relief from headache and sinus pain…
And even post-surgical pain!
In addition to aromatherapy, topical eucalyptus ointments have been used to alleviate joint and muscle pain – especially soreness and swelling related to strains, sprains, and even arthritis.
The key seems to be its content of an analgesic substance called eucalyptol — first identified by the 19th-century French chemist Francois Stanislas Cloez.
But its secret isn’t JUST in its minty scent.
A 2019 animal study found that consuming eucalyptol orally could help BLOCK nerve pain.
Most medicinal eucalyptus extracts are derived from Eucalyptus globulus (blue gum tree).
You can make your own massage oil by mixing eucalyptus essential oil with a carrier oil… like coconut, jojoba, or even almond oil.
TRUE eucalyptus oil usually comes from Australia, Africa, or South America – and NOT China.
Or, look for eucalyptol as an ingredient in OTC pain patches… balms… and creams… which might list it by its scientific name, “1,8-cineole.”
To taking a leaf out of the ancients’ book,

P.S. You can also find eucalyptol in rosemary – the spice rack staple that’s been shown to SLASH inflammatory knee pain in HALF. It’s no wonder that this “kitchen cure” is often COMBINED with eucalyptus.
