Can I ingest Essential Oils?Updated 10 months ago

The International Federation of Aromatherapists does not recommend that Essential Oils be taken internally therapeutically or ingested unless under the supervision of a medical doctor who is also qualified in Clinical Aromatherapy. At this time, none of Plant Therapy’s Certified Aromatherapists are clinically trained to administer Essential Oils internally, so we can not recommend ingesting them. This is for your safety, as some Oils can cause internal damage or interact with medications. Here is a blog with more information on this: https://www.planttherapy.com/blog/2014/01/14/can-essential-oils-be-ingested/

To reach out to an aromatherapist in your area, I recommend using the Find An Aromatherapist option on the Alliance of International Aromatherapist website here:

https://www.alliance-aromatherapists.org/ or on the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy here: https://naha.org/
