Rue essential oil should not be used in aromatherapy as it is a hazardous oil that can burn and irritate the skin. Rue is toxic, an abortifacient, an irritant to the mucus membranes, a neurotoxin, and causes sun sensitivity due to photo toxicity.  Furthermore, although several medicinal properties of this oil are described, most of them are reported to have been in use traditionally and their authenticity is not guaranteed. There are no adequate research studies except for its toxic, insect repelling, and abortifacient properties. So, the utmost care should be taken while using this oil externally.
