Toxicology and Safety of Essential Oils: A Constituent-Based Approach” (Chapter 7). On account of the complexity of these natural products, the toxicological or biochemical testing of an EO will always be the sum of its constituents which either act in a synergistic or in an antagonistic way with one another. Therefore, the chemical characterization of the EO is very important for the understanding of its biological properties. The constituents of these natural mixtures upon being absorbed into the blood stream of humans or animals get metabolized and eliminated. This metabolic biotransformation leads mostly in two steps to products of high water solubility which enables the organism to get rid of these “xenobiotics” by renal elimination.
