Safety Information
Safety Information
Tisserand and Young indicate that due to its 1, 8 cineole content, Eucalyptus Globulus Essential Oil may cause CNS and breathing problems in young children.
They caution against using Eucalyptus Globulus Oil on or near the face of children under 10. Their dermal maximum recommendation is 20%.
Reading Tisserand and Young's full profile is recommended. [Robert Tisserand and Rodney Young, Essential Oil Safety (Second Edition. United Kingdom: Churchill Livingstone Elsevier, 2014), 273).
Eucalyptus Oil is very toxic when taken orally (no essential oil should be taken internally without the guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner). [Julia Lawless, the Illustrated Encyclopedia of Essential Oils (Rockport, MA: Element Books, 1995), 141.]
