Eucalyptol

/juːˈkælɪptɔːl/ noun

Definition

The main active chemical compound found in eucalyptus oil, used in medicines, cough drops, and respiratory remedies for its cooling and decongestant properties.

Etymology

From eucalyptus + '-ol' (chemistry suffix for alcohols); the primary volatile oil extracted from eucalyptus leaves.

Kelly Says

Eucalyptol literally makes your nose feel cold by tricking your nerve cells into thinking they're experiencing menthol—it's a chemical illusion that actually helps you breathe!
