Eucalyptus Oil (Eucalyptus Globulus)
The main chemicals in eucalyptus oil are Cineol, pinene, limonene, so as you can see, eucalyptus oil is very toxic, so you should never apply this oil neat, or take it internally under any circumstances. However,eucalyptus oil is a non-irritant and non-sensitising.
Eucalyptus essential oil can help heal all types of physical illness, such as respiratory problems, like bronchitis, coughs, colds, flu, because it is an antiseptic in the air, it does help with congested breathing.
Absolutely, if you are breast feeding or pregnant - or feel that you could be - then you should avoided all forms of eucalyptus oil due to its toxicity.
