Abstract
In the ancient time Eucalyptus globulus used for the various purpose. It is a tall and an evergreen tree that can grow up to the height of 70m and its diameter is about 4 to 7 ft. Which was first found on the island of Tasmania in 1792 which associate to the Myrtaceous family which is commonly called as Tasmanian Blue Gum, southern blue gum or blue gum are the different names of eucalyptus globulus grow in the various parts of India. The particular species of Eucalyptus globulus have been used for various purposes. It had been found that eucalyptus is a rich source of phytochemical constituent and also possesses medicinal use. Phytochemical analysis of this plant has revealed that Mother tincture extracted from leaf contain 1,8-cineole, α-pinene, p-cymene, cryptone and spathulenol. Due to these chemical compounds, Eucalyptus glabrous is found to be a potential anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-nociceptive and anti-oxidant agent of nature. Some recent scientific investigations have also revealed that essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus also have anti-diabatic potentials that enhances its market value due to excessive usage in number of pharmaceutical products of traditional and advanced system of medicines. The aim of this review paper is compiling all the information about Eucalyptus Globulus such as Decongestant, Antipyretic, Anti-inflammatory, Analgesic, Anti-nociceptive, Antimicrobial, Anti-fungal, Antiviral and Anti-oxidant agent of the nature with Acute Case Records & So that which can be used effectively in Treatment of Patients of Acute Viral Conditions like URTI (Upper Respiratory Tract Infection), Influenza, COVID-19, Common Cold etc.

1. Introduction
Respiratory infections are classified according to their symptoms and diagnosis. Upper respiratory infections include the common cold, pharyngitis, and laryngotracheitis. These infections are usually benign, transient, and self-limiting, but in some cases, they can cause serious illness. The causative agents of these infections are viruses, bacteria, mycoplasmas, and fungi. Respiratory infections are more common in the fall and winter when school starts.
Generally, symptoms include sore throat, runny nose, general malaise, and low-grade fever at onset, followed by nasal congestion and cough, and peak at around day 3 or 4 after the onset of symptoms. Recovery is typically complete after about 7 to 10 days. Viral pathogens like rhinoviruses, and also influenza viruses, are the major causes of URTI.
Since no universally accepted specific therapy for Its exists, treatment is mainly symptomatic. Antiviral drugs are only recommended in confirmed influenza cases in children under 2 years of age, immunocompromised and chronically ill children, and in cases with severe symptoms. In all other cases Antipyretics, Anti-inflammatory drugs, Antibiotics, Expectorants, Decongestants, and cough suppressants either alone or in combination can be used. In Subcontinent Regions, medicines are used to treat the common cold and URTI in about 14% of children (7% prescribed and 7% over-the-counter), and about 12% of the prescribed medicines are antibiotics. In general, antibiotics are widely prescribed.

Since URTI are mainly caused by viruses, an antibiotic treatment is often inappropriate, and only indicated if there is a bacterial infection or to prevent superinfections. Overuse further spreads the problem of antibiotics resistance, which is of significant concern from a public health point of view
.
Since there is no approved specific therapy for URTI and because conventional medicines sometimes lead to side-effects and inappropriate use of antibiotics, there is an interest in the identification and evaluation of alternative therapies is been Raised.

Homeopathy is increasingly popular. For instance in Subcontinental regions, 60% of the population has been using homeopathy. The great majority of these users report positive experiences, and the common cold and flu is the most frequently mentioned indication. Homeopathy is the most commonly used complementary medicinal treatment in Both Children & Adult.
Eucalyptus Globulus is One of The Homoeopathic Medicines which used for Acute Viral Upper Respiratory Tract Infections. It has Anti-inflammatory, Antiviral, Anti-oxidant, Antipyretic, Expectorant & Decongestant activities and is used to treat the common cold, nasal congestion, bronchitis, irritation secretion. It also has diuretic, anti-sugar, and anti-tumor properties.
This plant is a rich source of polyphenols and terpenoids, and its main leaf composition is eucalyptol or Seoul, the leaf extract of this plant has anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-malarial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties. Eucalyptus has been used in traditional medicine to treat bronchitis, asthma, and other respiratory diseases. Drugs such as herbal incense, which are used to treat nasal congestion in the common cold and have anti-inflammatory effects, contain active ingredients like cineole and menthol, which are found in the essential oils of Eucalyptus and mint.

Cineol has positive effects on the shock frequency of respiratory cilia of the mucous membrane and is a bronchodilator. Researchers hypothesize that menthol has the exact mechanism as the ilium on the smooth muscle in bronchial smooth muscle and prevents calcium transport. On the other hand, in addition to its effect on smooth muscles, menthol affects the sensory nerves and thus has a two-way function.

As we Know URTI if not well managed timely may lead to Pneumonia, Bronchitis, & Many Other complications.
Conventional Medicines has very Limited scope, also The Antibiotics, NSAID (Non -Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug), Antipyretics were used in current days too inappropriately may leading to antibiotic resistance & Further Progression of Diseases
.
Nowadays 4
th generations antibiotics are developed due to this, But Homoeopathy Medicines which Are thoroughly proved in Healthy Human beings of both sex & various age groups way 200 yrs ago Still shows Same Efficacy without Having Any Resistance Which Shows Clinical Effectivity of Homoeopathic Medicines in Patient with No Side effects.

One of the most important mechanisms for developing symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection is the pervasive inflammation in the host body. As we know, the Eucalyptus Mother Tincture has anti-inflammatory properties that have been proven in various laboratory studies. So, it can be effective in reducing symptoms in the affected person. At the same time, the synergistic effects with antibacterial properties can make the performance of the Eucalyptus Mother Tincture more prominent than before. Based on these studies, we found that Eucalyptus incense in all diseases involving the upper respiratory tract can significantly improve patients’ symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that this Mother Tincture be prescribed at the discretion of a specialist Homoeopathic physician according to the patient’s condition.
