This remarkable tree has been celebrated for its medicinal properties since ancient times in eastern Australia. The Aboriginal people have long utilised the crushed leaves to heal cuts, burns, sores, and infections. They inhaled the oils from the leaves to relieve coughs and colds, sprinkled the oil on wounds, and applied poultices. The leaves were also infused to create tea for soothing sore throats. Between 1920 and 1930, the essential oil began gaining recognition in Europe for its antimicrobial properties.
