These factors are stringent regulations about the obligatory differentiation label on the product citing therapeutic grade or cosmetic grade products, lack of expertise among the therapists and toxic nature of some of the essential oils like
Cineole which is poisonous above the recommended dose and an overdose may cause some severe respiratory symptoms.
Camphor, linalool, borneol, camphene, dipentene, terpineol, safrole and
cineole. [20,21]
The scents were replaced every day, and
cineole three times a day.
[13] The most important peppermint components are menthol, menthone, neomenthol, methyl acetate, and 1,8
cineole. In addition, peppermint is a rich source of essential oils with major food values and which has spasmolytic, antibacterial, and digestive boosting properties in terms of pharmaceutical use.
It was demonstrated that EOLs possess relevant biological properties (1-3) and are thought to be a source of potent biological compounds, since several constituents of essentials oils show pharmacological activity, including blocking nerve excitability and acting on [Na.sup.+] channels, such as eugenol, linalool, carvacrol, estragole, and
cineole (12-16).
Except NaOCl,
cineole was found effective at significantly lower concentration than other decontaminants in this study.
The NP extract has some antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents such as [beta]-caryophyllene, 1.8
cineole, [beta]-eudesmol, thujone, and [alpha]- and [beta]-pinene.
The percentage composition of myrcene in rosemary was 3.99 [+ or -] 0.2 and 5.01 [+ or -] 0.3 in eucalyptus, [beta]-lin1oo1 (0.45 [+ or -] 0.01, 0.50 [+ or -] 0.02), nerol (15.00 [+ or -] 0.02, 23.98 [+ or -] 0.03), citral (18.01 [+ or -] 0.02,14.02 [+ or -] 0.02), limonene oxide (0.40 [+ or -] 0.03, 1.05 [+ or -] 0.02),
cineole (9.23 [+ or -] 0.03, 10.00 [+ or -] 0.01), berbenol (4.56 [+ or -] 0.02, 2.22 [+ or -] 0.02), and oleic acid (27.67 [+ or -] 0.01, 19.98 [+ or -] 0.02) (Table 4).

cineole was more active (L[D.sub.50]=23.5 [micro]l [L.sup.-1] air) than limenone and [alpha]-pinene.
The PSM-free feeding station contained unaltered rabbit food and the toxic feeding station contained the same rabbit pellets of the same nutritional value except that pellets were mixed with 5% 1,8-cineole by dry mass (hereafter
cineole, Alfa Aesar, stock no.
These differences may be due to the synergistic effects of
cineole and other ACEO in eucalyptus oil.
