Is Eucalyptus Essential Oil Dangerous for Kids?

There’s a lot of discussion about eucalyptus essential oil (Eucalyptus globulus) and whether it’s safe for children. The concern comes from 1,8-cineole, the main chemical component in eucalyptus oil. This naturally powerful compound supports clear breathing and focus, but in high amounts, it can sometimes be too stimulating for young children or difficult for their smaller bodies to process.

However, new research on eucalyptus essential oil safety suggests it may be safer for kids than previously believed, especially when properly diluted in aromatherapy blends or diffused in small amounts. The conversation is still evolving, and more studies are needed.

At Aromahead Institute, we continue to take a cautious, evidence-based approach to using essential oils for children, focusing on gentle methods, age-appropriate dilutions, and safe alternatives when needed.
