Is this suitable for use during pregnancy?
Not recommended for use during pregnancy. Avoid using essential oils during the first trimester unless you are under the supervision of a qualified practitioner.

Is this suitable for children?
Keep out of reach of children. Research has shown that exposure to eucalyptus oil before the age of 2 years old can have negative effects on the respiratory and nervous systems. Essential oils are considered too strong for use on babies' skin (0-24 months) and can be overwhelming for their developing systems. When using in a diffuser, use fewer drops than you would for an adult (e.g. 2-3 drops).

Is this suitable to use around pets?
Not recommended for use around pets.

Can this oil be ingested?
Not to be taken.
