Information
No, you shouldn't eat eucalyptus during pregnancy. Although eucalyptus is considered safe for most people, it is potentially toxic to pregnant women. The most common side effects associated with eucalyptus ingestion are headache, nausea and vomiting. Eucalyptus can also contain substances that can influence the hormones of the mother and the fetus and cause anomalies of the development of the fetus. In addition, eucalyptus ingestion can interfere with the normal functioning of kidneys and bile ducts, which can lead to additional complications. Therefore, it is best to refrain from consuming eucalyptus during pregnancy. If you absolutely have to consume it, only do it under medical supervision and carefully.
All these recommendations are given as an indication based on ANSES information and cannot replace the advice of a health professional.
