Safety Summary
·
Hazards:
Essential oils high in 1, 8-cineole can cause CNS and breathing problems in
young children.
·
Cautions: Do
not apply to or near the face of infants or children
Organ
Specific Effects
·
Adverse skin reaction: No information found. 1,8-Cineole is not a
high-risk skin irritant or allergen.
·
Reproductive toxicity: Nerolina oil was both maternally toxic and
feto toxic when injected ip to pregnant rats for 18 days at 1,350 mg/kg/day.
Signs of maternal toxicity included low relative weight, higher mortality, and
increased weight of both liver and kidneys.
Signs of feto toxicity included low number of surviving fetuses, high rate of
fetal resorption, low birth weight and low placental weight. Since the dose
used is equivalent to injecting 94.5 g of essential oil into the abdomen of a
pregnant woman every day for 18 days, this information has no bearing on the
real world use of essential oils. The low reproductive toxicity of eucalyptus
oil, a-pinene and (þ)-limonene suggests that niaouli oil cineole CT is not
hazardous in pregnancy
