Dosage: Class 1 (AHP). Not covered (KOM; PHR). Coumarins may photosensitize and may interact with other antiaggregants. Convulsions, enteric colic, and even death are reported in children following ingestion of large amounts of orange peel (AHP, speaking of C. aurantium, not this species, but the same chemicals, hence warning should prevail. 1997). Tangeretin may interfere with tamoxifen. Peel oil has proven antifungal activity. Peel contains the decongestant synephrine, probably synergistic with caffeine as a thermogenic. Peel is rich in limonene, with much promise in anticancer activity. Contraindications: Class 1 (AHP). Not covered (KOM; PHR). Coumarins may photosensitize and may interact with other antiaggregants.

Commission E reports flower and herb are not permitted for therapeutic use. Contains EO with neurotoxic thujone in such amounts that normal doses may already be toxic (AEH). CAN cautions that thujone in the volatile oil can cause severe gastrosis and convulsions. Documented fatalities have been mainly associated with ingestion of the oil (LD50 = 1150 mg/kg orl), but fatalities are reported with infusions and powders. Oil should not be used internally or externally (10 drops of oil is potentially fatal (CRC)), even the tea has been fatal (thujone may likely be responsible). Because of abortifacient and uterine activity caused by the thujone in the oil, its use in pregnancy and lactation is to be avoided. Contact dermatosis has been documented. May interfere with hypoglycemic and liver therapy. Therapeutic window only 2:5 (cf digitalis 1:2) (CAN). “The potential toxicity of this plant outweighs its benefits.†The lethal dosage is approximately 15–30 g oil (HH3; PH2). Camphor, sabinene (especially), thujone and sabinene chemotype ethanolic extracts are strongly antibacterial against Gram-positive Bacillus and Staphylococcus (100–200 mg/ml). Thujone type EO is effective against Bacillus, Escherichia, and Staphylococcus at 100 ?g/ml), umbellulone type at 100–150 ?g/ml (HH3). Teas and ethanolic extracts clinically stimulate bile in patients with gallbladder and liver problems, increasing appetite and digestion while alleviating pain. I frequently include tansy in my after dinner herbal liqueur, but don’t recommend it to anyone else. Contraindications: Class 2b, 3.
