Eucalyptus malacoxylon
Eucalyptus malacoxylon, also known as the Quilluja or Quillaja saponaria, is a tree native to South America, particularly in Chile and Argentina.
Its bark is rich in saponins, which have been used for centuries in traditional medicine for their medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.
The health benefits of Eucalyptus malacoxylon include its ability to soothe respiratory issues, such as bronchitis and asthma, as well as its potential to lower cholesterol levels and improve digestion.
Eucalyptus malacoxylon is often used in herbal preparations, including teas, tinctures, and infusions, and is also used as an ingredient in skincare products due to its antimicrobial properties.
