19.01.2022 Essential oils and ingestion To begin, I want to clarify that as a traditionally trained aromatherapist, I am not against ingestion of essential oils. Essentia...l oils have long been used for enhancing the flavor of food and are commonly used internally for their therapeutic purposes. However, I must stress that anyone who recommends the oral use of essential oils for therapeutic purposes should be suitably qualified. This means that they should have suitable training in physiology, pharmacology and aromatherapy chemistry and should have a minimum level diploma qualification in aromatic medicine or a medical herbalism diploma. Oral administration is most effective for treating severe infectious diseases, which often requires heavy dosing. It is commonly used by medical practitioners in France, but is not commonly taught in many aromatherapy and natural therapy courses. The biggest concern surrounding oral administration is that some essential oils can irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa. There are also concerns that digestive enzymes can destroy some of the essential oil constituents, rendering the oil ineffective. It is best to blend the essential oil in a carrier oil and encapsulate it. This way the essential oil can reach the gut intact where it can be more readily absorbed without causing irritation to sensitive GIT mucosa. It is also important to remember that essential oils are not water soluble and therefore should not be taken in water. This topic is complex and beyond the standard social media or blog post.

09.01.2022 What can I say.. the only safe way is to consult a qualified practitioner who has put the time into studying and learning how to safely prescribe. My qualifications are: Aromatherapist, Aromatic Medicine Practitioner (ie internal applications) and Herbalist (this adds another dimension to my knowledge of the plants and their oils). Book in to see me and we can discuss the best oils for you and how to best and safely use them!

07.01.2022 It needs a properly qualified Aromatic Medicine Practitioner to prescribe essential oils for internal use safely!
07.01.2022 Whats going on?... You only have to do a search on essential oil in the PubMed database to find evidence of the fact that essential oils have pharmacological... activities. Lets reflect for a moment on the years of training required to prescribe and dispense conventional pharmacological substances. Quite rightly, Tisserand and Young advise in Essential Oil Safety that only practitioners who are qualified to diagnose, trained to weigh risks against benefits, and have a knowledge of essential oil pharmacology should prescribe essential oils for oral administration." The same book refers to a typical oral dosage range as being from 200-600 mg (approx 7-20 drops). Peter Holmes writes in the 2nd volume of Aromatica: A Clinical Guide to Essential Oil Therapeutics that as a general guideline, the daily oral dose of essential oil for an adult weighing 70 kg ranges from 200 to 400 mg, or 7 to 14 drops, and that a 90 kg patient should receive about 9 drops of oil daily. Along with other guidelines, Peter indicates that intake typically consists of a ten-day course followed by four days of abstinence. dTERRA, in contrast, under The Appropriate Dose (Internal Use) - https://www.doterra.com//essential-oil-safety-and-applicat - has determined that in total, typically no more than 20 drops, divided into doses, should be consumed in a 24-hour period. They suggest that if you consume near the maximum dose, you should not continue with that dose for an extended period of time but dont specify what that period of time is (at least not here). Im baffled... this means that those with the least clinical knowledge, with little to no training, are being encouraged to suggest doses at the highest point within the generally accepted dose range often through questionable methodologies and with minimal guidance. Whats going on?... Is corporate and individual profit trumping science, safety, education and sustainability? That does seem to be whats happening but it must, and will, change: I predict that, in the future, everyone engaged in recommending internal methods of essential oil administration will be licensed preferably on the basis of training that is equivalent to a 3-year degree program. The future will be licensing.
