Safety summary
Hazards  May be moderately toxic.
Contraindications  None known

Organ-specific effects
Adverse skin reactions  Tested at 15% in castor oil, Himalayan cedarwood oil was not irritating to the skin of rabbit or sheep. In a study of 200 consecutive dermatitis patients, three (1.5%) were sensitive to 2% Himalayan cedarwood oil on patch testing. Himalayan cedarwood oil has anti-inflammatory effects, preventing histamine release and inhibiting type IV hypersensitivity.

Systemic effects
Acute toxicity  Himalayan cedarwood oil acute oral LD50 in mice was 500 mg/kg. Subacute & subchronic toxicity: In rabbits exposed daily for 21 days by dermal application of 15% Himalayan cedarwood oil in castor oil, no significant changes were observed in the body weight, organ weight, or organ/body weight ratios of the treated animals. Serum oxaloacetic transaminase and pyruvic transaminase levels remained unaltered, as did blood glucose and blood urea nitrogen values. Neither spontaneous nor treatmentrelated histopathological changes were observed. These data suggest that the oil was devoid of any adverse effect on skin or on liver and kidney functions of rabbits.

Carcinogenic/anticarcinogenic potential  Himalayan cedarwood oil showed in vitro growth-inhibiting action against human K562 myelogenous leukemia cells with an IC50 of 37.09 mg/mL. Limonene exhibits anticarcinogenic activity (see (þ)-Limonene profile.

Comments
Since terpenes do not tend to be acutely toxic, since the subchronic data in rabbits did not show any toxicity, and since Atlas cedarwood, with very similar constituents, has a low toxicity, there must be some doubt about the LD50 of 500 mg/kg for this oil. The acute oral LD50 for a-cedrene has been reported as >5 g/kg.
