Eucalyptus | Globulus

Safety Considerations:  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).

To avoid the risk of sensitization or reaction, never use any essential oil undiluted. Do not take essential oils internally unless working closely with a qualified and expert practitioner. Keep out of a child’s reach, and away from pets. If applying an essential oil topically, always perform a small patch test to a less sensitive part of the body after you have properly diluted the oil in a carrier oil.
