However, experts don’t recommend using eucalyptus oil on the faces of children younger than 10 years old as it can cause breathing difficulties and affect the central nervous system. Therefore, we don’t recommend eucalyptus oil for babies. Also, inhaling eucalyptus oil side effects might include allergic reactions or the onset of an asthma attack. The oil should be used sparingly (if at all) with young children and at dilution rates of 0.5% for children younger than 3 years old and 1% for children older than 3 years old. Using the milder eucalyptus radiata essential oil with children is recommended.
