Safe Internal Use of Essential Oils: What You Need to Know
Essential oils are incredibly powerful plant extracts that can offer many benefits when used thoughtfully. While most people are familiar with applying oils topically or inhaling their aromas, some wonder about using essential oils internally for added support.
Using essential oils internally requires extra caution, knowledge, and respect for their potency. Not all oils are safe to ingest, and improper use can cause irritation or other unwanted effects. When done correctly, however, internal use can be a valuable way to support digestion, immune health, and overall wellness.
In this post, we’ll explore important guidelines for safely using essential oils internally, which oils are commonly used, and best practices to ensure you get the benefits without risks.
Wherever you get your oils, always double check this label. If it doesn’t have a supplement facts label then it is a HUGE NO to internal use.
I choose only doTERRA essential oils because I can be assured they are certified pure therapeutic grade. That means they are the highest quality and purest oils on the market. Many, many hospitals across the country are using doTERRA and that makes me feel even better.
A kind word of caution tho—if you think buying doTERRA on amazon is the same, you could be scammed. It’s super easy to uncap the oils and refill them with cheaper and less quality oils and be selling them as doTERRA. Why take that chance? It’s as simple as a Costco membership—get wholesale prices for a small fee (or waived with a kit) and start using the best and safest oils available.
