I read the paper on Essential Oils that you wrote and I was
wondering, are all Eucalyptus Essential oils toxic? I used about 30
drops of the kind I have as a terp in my henna paste but I don't
want to use this on anyone else if it might be toxic. The kind I
have is called "Nilgiri Oil" and on the first line it
has "Eucalyptus Oil I.P.". It says: "Repacked by Ashwin Fine
Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals". It also says: "Product of India"
and "3. Shanta Ind. Estate, Off. Western Express Highway, Kashimira
Dist.Thane." I bought it at Ghandi Bazaar which is a store in
Austin, TX specializing in Indian goods. I did have a light rash on
my face after I hennaed but I assumed that it might have been caused
by the cloves in the mixture. I only had the rash on my forehead and
it was very light; I did not have it anywhere else like on my scalp.
