Aromatherapy: Use in aromatherapy is that of other Eucalyptus oils, inhalants and linaments used for respiratory and muscular applications. All Eucalyptus oils are rich in eucalyptol and have antiseptic and expectorant properties and are especially good for inhalation.

Perfumery: All Eucalyptus oils have very limited use in perfumery.

Flavor: The main use of this oil is in pharmaceutical preparations, cough drops, gargles, mouth washes, toothpaste, etc.

All Eucalyptus oils can induce the detoxification enzyme system in the liver, thus the effects of other drugs can be weakened and/or shortened. (Blumenthal et al 2000

Safety of Eucalyptus oils have not been established in pregnant or nursing women, but highly diluted massage with the essential oil should not pose a threat as there is long-standing usage of Eucalyptus products.
