Eucalytpus oil
Eucalytpus
essential oils are frequently used to improve health,
but they might induce allergic reactions in certain people. If you have a
history of skin responses to topical treatments or atopic dermatitis, you're
more likely to have an adverse reaction to an essential oil.
These reactions can range from irritation to sneezing
to, in rare situations, something more serious when using essential oils in a
diffuser or topically.
Some people who use essential oils fail to tell their
doctors about it, possibly because they don't realise the link between the oils
and such symptoms. But keep in mind that just because something is natural
doesn't rule out the possibility of negative side effects.
