What I’ve Learned From Taking Essential Oils Internally

1.) The essential oils I use have helped me out a lot: I use essential oils all the time in my water, smoothies, and lick peppermint straight from the top of my hand and have had amazing benefits like a clearer mind and a boosted immune system.

2.) Potency should be considered but not be a deal breaker: There was a holistic practitioner that I heard speak at an event once and she said that essential oils should not be taken internally due to the potency.

This would only be true if the person using it misapplied it or was allergic to the plant.

The quality of the essential oil you are using is of utmost importance since having it approved by the FDA for internal use is just a minimum standard.
