Eucalyptus Overview
Eucalyptus is a plant that is native to Australia and a member of the Myrtaceae family. It is known for its distinctive, aromatic leaves, small flowers, and as the primary food of koala bears.
Eucalyptus has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Aboriginal and Western herbal medicine. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects and is used to treat a variety of conditions, including digestive problems, respiratory infections, and skin disorders.
Eucalyptus is also commonly used as a natural treatment for colds and flu due to its expectorant properties, which help to loosen and remove mucus from the respiratory tract. It is often a component of dietary supplements marketed toward improving breathing or respiration. It is also very commonly utilized in topical aromatherapy medicines, such as Vick's Vaporub (which contains eucalyptus oil).
Mirabegron Overview
-
Mirabegron is used alone or in combination with solifenacin (Vesicare) to treat overactive bladder (a condition in which the bladder muscles contract uncontrollably and cause frequent urination, urgent need to urinate, and inability to control urination) in adults. It is also used to treat neurogenic detrusor overactivity (a bladder control condition caused by brain, spinal cord or nerve problem) in children 3 years of age and older. Mirabegron is in a class of medications called beta-3 adrenergic agonists. It works by relaxing the bladder muscles to prevent urgent, frequent, or uncontrolled urination.
