Dried Eucalyptus Leaves (Horst) are the dried leaves of Eucalyptus viminalis (ribbon gum), a eucalyptus species native to south-eastern Australia. Eucalyptus leaves are one of the most characteristic aromatic herbal raw materials, distinguished by their rich essential oil content — primarily 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol), which is responsible for the intensely fresh, camphoraceous, and penetrating aromatic character that is immediately recognisable as the signature scent of eucalyptus. In addition to cineole-rich essential oil, eucalyptus leaves contain polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids, and organic acids.
Dried eucalyptus leaves are used to prepare aromatic herbal infusions and steam inhalation preparations, and as an ingredient in topical rinse preparations and home fragrance steaming blends. The intense, fresh, and highly aromatic character of eucalyptus infusions has made this herb a valued component of traditional herbal preparations across Europe for well over a century.

Horst Dried Eucalyptus Leaves are a classic herbal raw material used mainly for aromatic steam inhalation and topical herbal preparations. The leaves of Eucalyptus viminalis are naturally rich in 1,8-cineole, also called eucalyptol — the compound that gives eucalyptus its sharp, cool, camphor-like scent. People usually choose eucalyptus leaves when they want a strong herbal steam for the airways, or when preparing a fragrant rinse or warming home herbal infusion for external use.
The main value of eucalyptus lies in its essential oil profile. Eucalyptol creates the clear, penetrating aroma that feels fresh when released in steam. Alongside the volatile oil, the leaves also contain polyphenols, tannins and flavonoids. In plain language, these are plant compounds that give herbal infusions their characteristic bitter-aromatic note and a slightly astringent quality. This is why eucalyptus has long been used not just for its scent, but also as part of traditional external herbal preparations.
What makes this product interesting is its simple, single-herb form: whole dried eucalyptus leaves rather than a flavoured blend or perfume-based product. When hot water is poured over the leaves, the aromatic components are released naturally into the steam. This makes the herb suitable for people who prefer traditional botanical preparations at home — for example during colder months, after long hours in dry indoor air, or when creating a refreshing steam bowl or herbal rinse.
Eucalyptus has been valued in European herbal practice for more than a century, especially in steam preparations, where its intense aroma became one of the most recognisable herbal scents. Horst eucalyptus leaves fit well into a seasonal self-care approach for those who enjoy classic herbal steaming rituals and external botanical use rather than ready-made scented products.
Because eucalyptus is highly aromatic, use it thoughtfully. Steam should be inhaled gently, not too hot, and it is best to avoid direct eye exposure. For children, during pregnancy, or for people with marked sensitivity to strong essential-oil-rich herbs, a healthcare professional’s advice is a sensible step before use.
