- Grouped umbrella entry covering 7 Myrtaceae Eucalyptus species with 1,8-cineole dominant chemotype — E. camaldulensis (cineole CT), E. globulus (blue gum), E. maidenii (Maiden's gum), E. plenissima, E. polybractea (blue-leaved mallee), E. radiata (narrow-leaved peppermint), E. smithii (gully gum). All leaves, all steam-distilled. European Pharmacopoeia requires ≥70% 1,8-cineole for "Eucalyptus oil". Commercial sources dominated by Chinese E. globulus (Yunnan).
- Hazards: Essential oils high in 1,8-cineole can cause CNS and breathing problems in young children. (T&Y verbatim p.568).
- Contraindications: Do not apply to or near the face of infants or children under ten years of age. (T&Y verbatim — hard contraindication, not framework-conservative).
- Max adult daily oral dose: 600 mg. Max dermal use level: 20% (T&Y concurs with German Commission E). Health Canada requires ≤25% in cosmetic products. Schedule 6 poison Australia. Commission E Monograph: 300–600 mg/day oral; 5–20% dermal; contraindicated in GI/bile duct inflammation + severe liver disease.
- Key rails: PEDIATRIC POISONING DOCUMENTED — 109 children admitted to Melbourne hospital 1981–1992 (Tibballs 1995): 5 mL ingestion → significant CNS depression; 30 mL → fatal in 10-year-old. 41 Queensland cases 1984–1991 (Webb & Pitt 1993). Non-phototoxic (Placzek 2007). 10% on 25 volunteers non-irritating + non-sensitizing (Opdyke 1975). Not embryotoxic/fetotoxic in mice at 135 mg sc (Pages 1990). Dermatitis patients may need <1.0% dilution (T&Y Comments).

Pha Chế & Hòa Hợp
1,8-Cineole (dominant constituent, typically 60–80% in E. globulus) stimulates mucociliary clearance in bronchial epithelium and reduces mucus viscosity, facilitating expectoration from the upper and lower respiratory tract.
Ref: Blumenthal et al (1998) Commission E Monograph; Tisserand & Young (2014) Ch.13 p.567–571
Inhaled 1,8-cineole vapour activates cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptors in nasal mucosa, producing perceived decongestion; Commission E approval covers catarrh of the upper respiratory tract.
Ref: Blumenthal et al (1998) Commission E Monograph; Tisserand & Young (2014) Ch.13 p.567–571
1,8-Cineole inhibits pro-inflammatory mediator release, demonstrated by significant reduction of carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema in an in vivo rodent model.
Ref: Silva et al (2003)
1,8-Cineole disrupts bacterial and fungal cell membrane integrity; activity is class-established across multiple Myrtaceae cineole-rich species including E. globulus, E. radiata, and E. smithii.
Ref: Tisserand & Young (2014) Ch.13 p.567–571; class-extrapolation from cineole-rich Myrtaceae EOs
Cineole produces a characteristic cooling sensation via TRPM8 receptor activation in cutaneous nociceptors, masking pain signals and functioning as a classical counterirritant in topical applications.
Ref: Tisserand & Young (2014) Ch.13 p.567–571
AI-summary
The strongest regulatory-level evidence is the German Commission E Monograph (Blumenthal et al 1998) approving eucalyptus preparations for treatment of catarrh of the upper respiratory tract — equivalent to phytomedicine regulatory approval. Silva et al (2003) demonstrated statistically significant anti-inflammatory activity in a carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema model, supporting topical anti-inflammatory use at preclinical level. No full human RCT specifically for this EO was located in the §13 citation set; available clinical data are primarily pharmacovigilance (Webb & Pitt 1993, 41-case Queensland series; Tibballs 1995, 109-case Melbourne series — definitive paediatric dose-response) and regulatory (Commission E; Health Canada 2011 25% cosmetic cap). Opdyke (1975) 10% human volunteer data confirmed no irritation or sensitisation at standard dilutions.

| Phương pháp | Liều lượng | Ghi chú |
|---|---|---|
| Steam inhalation | 2–3 drops in 1 L hot water | Lean over bowl, towel over head; eyes closed; 5–10 min max. CONTRAINDICATED for children under 12 — cineole vapour causes apnoea and CNS depression (Tibballs 1995). Adults only. |
| Diffusion | 3–5 drops per 100 ml water in ultrasonic diffuser | Adults only; 20–30 min sessions with ventilation breaks. Do not diffuse in rooms occupied by infants or children under 12. Effective for ambient respiratory support and air hygiene. |
| Topical massage | 1–3% in carrier oil (1–3 drops per 5 ml carrier) | Chest and upper back for respiratory; muscles for counterirritant analgesia. Max adult dermal 20%. Avoid face and neck. Patch test for sensitive skin. Contraindicated near children's faces. |
| Warm compress | 4–5 drops dispersed in 500 ml warm water | Apply soaked cloth compress to chest for congestion or to affected joint for anti-inflammatory effect. Replace compress every 10 min. Adults only. |
| Bath | 6–8 drops dispersed in 15 ml bath emulsifier | Adults only. Disperse fully in emulsifier before adding to bath. Do not use with broken or inflamed skin, or in sitz baths. Limit soak to 15 min. |
