Eucalyptus oil works just as well as mehlabiya oil. Maybe better.

Lawsomes-- i don't know in what way they are toxic. But no, with
normal henna use (i.e. not eating it or something) they never even
enter the body. They simply hang around in the topmost layer of skin,
and never enter the bloodstream. They are not transdermal. You'd have
to eat a metric tonne of henna to cause any damage (bleah!). So
they're really very safe in henna.
