Eucalyptus oil can be deadly if you take enough. Eucalyptus oil is mostly eucalyptol.Eucalyptol is actually a serious issue with some elemi oil. Apparently some elemi oil contains more eucalyptol than elemicin. The two bottles of elemi oil that SWIM has were different. The first was more sedating. The two main sedatives present in elemi oil are myrcene and eucalyptol. The myrcene doesn’t dissolve in the 70/30 solution of DMSO/water but the eucalyptol does for sure. SWIM got lucky. Both batches seem low in eucalyptol, because after the DMSO extraction there's no sedation felt.A way to get rid of the eucalyptol needs to be found.SWIM has one friend who just tried this tech with a new batch of elemi oil. Her last batch was great, but with the new batch she got sedative effects, a headache, and NOTHING else. SWIM has not tried the extract, but the extract was smelled and it smelled like eucalyptus and DMSO, with a hint of roses or something like that. Not good at all. There was no nutmeg smell to it.Does anyone have any idea of how to easily remove the eucalyptol? I read that it can be freeze precipitated out of eucalyptus oil, but this only works if there’s a ton of it present. I don’t think there’s enough in elemi oil for that to work. Any ideas?
