Is it allowed to take Australian Tea Tree Oil during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

It is used the essential oil from leaves and buds that contains: cineole and terpineol. Used on skin due to antiseptic, anti-fungal and insect-repellent properties. Effective for topical treatment of acne. Toxic for oral ingestion, especially in very young infants. At latest update, relevant published data on excretion into breast milk were not found. Avoid application on the nipple since essential oil is highly toxic for the Nervous System.
