As we continue to cover the many uses of essential oils it is always important to keep safety in our minds! Today, we will focus on safety regarding the internal use of essential oils. *First and foremost, I have to reiterate that the ingestion of essential oils is only specific to dōTERRA because of the safety standards we have in place.
Here are some quick tips about the internal use of oils:
✅ If your bottle has a “Supplement Fact” label, then it is meant to be taken internally. If not, then it is only recommended for aromatic and topical use.
Essential oils are not meant to be ingested by children under the age of 7.
When adding citrus oil to the liquid that we are ingesting (water, tea, etc.), we want to be using glass, ceramic or stainless steel only. Avoid plastics as the oils are so detoxifying that they will pull the chemicals from the plastic only for us to ingest them. Yikes!
Less is more. Start with one drop, maybe two.
