When you want to experience the uplifting, energizing, or calming benefits of essential oils,
aromatic use provides a quick, easy way to get the benefits you want. When you want to soothe,
moisturize, nourish, or soften the skin, topical use of essential oils can efficiently deliver the

desired effect. What then, is the advantage of using essential oils internally? While internal use of
Research
essential oils is a mystery to some, research has found plenty of safe, beneficial uses for essential
oils internally. Yes, aromatic and topical use of essential oils provides a variety of benefits; however,

internal use can be equally beneficial when done properly. Internal essential oil use offers some
exclusive benefits for the body that aromatic and topical use simply cannot accomplish.

The benefits of internal use

CHAPTER Safety guidelines
One of the most common reasons for ingesting essential oils is to reap the internal benefits it holds for the
body. Each essential oil possesses a different chemical structure that will provide the body with unique
properties and benefits. For example, some essential oils can be used internally to promote healthy cell
function, support gastrointestinal health, or maintain healthy immune function, while others may offer internal
cleansing benefits.* When used properly, essential oils hold a wide array of wellness benefits that can come
from internal use.

In addition to substantial health benefits, internal use also provides a way to add safe, natural, potent flavors

to food and beverages. Not only will the addition of essential oils to entrées, drinks, snacks, and baked goods
provide a simple way to experience the health benefits of essential oils, it will also add a potent, unique flavor
to anything edible. CHAPTER Why use essential oils internally?

to the environment.
As you will read in chapter two, there is substantial research to support
the validity of safely using essential oils internally.

The science behind internal use

As mentioned, we already consume small amounts of essential oils in our daily diet, so our bodies are
equipped to process these types of nutrients. Like other things we consume, essential oils are processed
through our body when taken internally, providing the body with specific benefits.

When an essential oil is ingested, it is transported through the

gastrointestinal tract, directly into the bloodstream, where it is then
carried throughout the rest of the body. As lipid soluble compounds,
essential oils can easily be transported to all of the body’s organs,
even the brain. Because essential oils can be delivered to the organs
of the body, they are processed (like other things we consume) through
metabolization by the liver and other organs, and then excreted.

While our bodies are designed to metabolize and process natural

compounds like essential oils, it is important to remember that the
body can only handle essential oils in appropriate doses. You’ll
learn about appropriate dosage later, but remember that when using
essential oils internally, always consider dosage and consumption
levels on an oil-by-oil basis. Each essential oil contains different
chemical components that will cause unique reactions within the
organs and cells of the body. By considering the chemistry and
recommended dosage for each individual essential oil, it is possible
to safely reap the benefits of internal usage.

FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) List

Among many resources, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Generally Recognized as

CHAPTER
Safe (GRAS) list concerning substances that have been identified as safe for use within food products. Each
How to use essential oils internally
substance included in the list has thorough documentation of safe internal usage, and includes essential oils
that have a well-documented history of safe use. Within this list, the FDA recognizes certain essential oils as
appropriate preservatives and flavoring agents that are safe to consume. This list also sets general safety
guidelines for consumption, in order to protect users from possible toxicity. While the GRAS list is a helpful
resource, it is not the only source for determining which essential oils are safe for internal consumption. As
you will read later in this chapter, other research can also show which oils are safe for internal use.

benefits, as long as correct dosage is applied.

As the amount of available research on internal essential

oil use grows, traditional internal usage practices are
validated, and new uses are continually being discovered.
Despite this research, some believe that any ingestion of
essential oils will cause toxicity. In the next chapter, you
will learn about dosage and toxicity—most importantly
that toxic reactions only occur when someone uses a
contaminated essential oil, essential oils not approved for
internal use, or uses essential oils in an excessive dose.

CHAPTER Safety guidelines

When it comes to safely using essential oils internally, there is a lot to consider. Most importantly,

we must remember that not all essential oils are created equal—each essential oil has its own

CHAPTER
chemical makeup, its own set of benefits, and reacts with the body in its own way. In addition,
How to use essential oils internally
essential oils are not created equally because harvest, production, and testing can vary from

distributor to distributor. This means that while some essential oils are pure and thoroughly

tested, others include fillers, preservatives, or impurities that lower the quality of the oil, and

Once you’ve considered all of the safety factors, you must still use
essential oils in appropriate doses to ensure safety during internal use.

oil is processed through the body’s systems. When used internally, some essential oils should not be placed
directly on the tongue or directly in the mouth and swallowed due to their individual chemical design and how
it effects the body. Some oils are merely too strong to be taken directly, or without altering the application
method. These oils can be taken internally by adding two or three drops to a veggie cap, putting one or two
drops in recipes, or placing one drop of oil in at least four ounces of liquid. The following are considered
“strong oils” and should be used cautiously due to their potency:

While essential oils cannot cause allergic reactions, they can still cause sensitivity reactions in some people
because we each have different sensitivity threshold levels. When sensitivity to an essential oil occurs, it can
create symptoms that are similar to an allergic reaction.

How will I know if I am sensitive to a particular oil?

Sensitivity to an essential oil can cause responses in the skin, digestive system, respiratory system, and other
areas of the body. Some of the signs of an essential oil sensitivity include pain, swelling, or tenderness in the
skin, skin irritation, difficulty breathing, and stomach upset.

How to handle essential oil sensitivity

If you develop a sensitivity to an essential oil, you can easily manage your essential oil application to avoid
sensitivity or discomfort. Since sensitivity to an essential oil is not the same as an allergic reaction, you
may still be able to use that essential oil with a different form of application. For example, if you experience
sensitivity after using an essential oil internally, you may still be able to use that oil aromatically or topically.

Essential oil sensitivity can also be caused by dosage. If you’ve experienced sensitivity with a particular
essential oil in the past, you can try diluting the oil, or simply take a smaller dose to see if the sensitivity was
caused by a high dosage of the oil.

If you ever experience a sensitivity reaction to essential oils in the digestive system, it is important to
immediately discontinue use of that oil. If a large amount of oil was consumed, contact poison control
immediately. If only a small amount of the oil was consumed, you can help subside the sensitivity by drinking
plenty of fluids. If the reaction becomes prolonged or severe, it is always wise to seek medical attention.

Toxicity
Essential oils are completely safe to use internally, as long as the appropriate dosage is observed. In the most
extreme cases, exceeding dosage recommendations for oils can lead to toxicity. Toxicity is when a substance
reaches a point that it becomes harmful or damaging to the body. Any substance (even natural, seemingly
harmless substances) can become toxic if used in an inappropriate dose.

Although essential oils have a potential for toxicity when used in incorrect dosages (just as water, minerals,
vitamins, and other substances do), the toxic dose of an essential oil is always far above the recommended
dosage. An individual would have to far exceed the dosage recommendations for an essential oil to put
themselves within the dangerous range of toxicity.
 CHAPTER How to use essential oils internally

To enjoy the internal benefits of essential oils, you can always add a drop or two to a glass of water. Not only
will essential oils add potent flavor to plain water, but this provides an easy way to use essential oils internally.

CHAPTER 3
Supplement Capsules

Another simple way to use essential oils internally is to place a few drops into
a supplement capsule. dōTERRA® offers vegetarian capsules that are free of
preservatives and animal products, and are easy to digest.

CHAPTER 4
Direct Application
How to use essential oils internally
Essential oils can also be placed directly in the mouth
and swallowed for internal benefits. Keep in mind that
essential oils are extremely potent, and even one drop
on or under the tongue will be powerful. For essential
oils that are too powerful to take directly, dilute a drop in at least four ounces of
water before swallowing. Remember, essential oils like Cassia, Cinnamon, Clove,
Cumin, Oregano, and Thyme should always be diluted.

Cooking and Baking

Adding essential oils to your favorite food dishes and baked goods is a wonderful
way to experience the flavor-enhancing benefits of essential oils, not to mention their benefits for the body.
The smallest amount of essential oils can enhance the flavor of any entrée, beverage, dessert, marinade, or
any other dish that can use complimentary flavors.

Cooking with essential oils
For centuries, essential oils have been used to add flavor to meals because of their potent nature and ability
to enhance natural flavors. When cooking with essential oils, remember, a little goes a long way. Because
essential oils are so concentrated, even the tiniest drop can provide a serious amount of flavor.
15 mL
Lemon
Citrus
limon

When cooking with essential oils, rather than adding an entire drop to your dish, dip a toothpick into the bottle
to extract flavor and stir the dipped toothpick in with the other ingredients. You can always add more flavor,
but adding too much essential oil could overpower and even ruin the dish.

It may take some experimentation, but as you start to use essential oils to flavor and enhance your food, you
will soon experience the benefits that these natural extracts have to offer, and enjoy your favorite recipes
even more.
