BEFORE YOU START
Before you start using EO and/or make any DIY product, please read my SAFETY NOTES HERE.
All the info and education provided in this post, refer exclusively to Doterra’s products. I do not trust, endorse, use or recommend any other brand.
CAN YOU USE ESSENTIAL OILS INTERNALLY?
Doterra offers products of the highest quality to the market.
Its Oils are CPTG certified, which means they are Certified, Pure and of Tested Grade.
This certification gives us consumers peace of mind when it comes to internal use. In fact, Doterra’s Essential Oils can be ingested safely.
IS IT OK AND SAFE TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS INTERNALLY?
Yes, it is!
Once again, though, I’d like to stress the fact that you should only do what you feel comfortable with. In order to benefit from the power of Essential Oils you don’t have to ingest them. You can use them aromatically or topically.
Also, as mentioned at the very beginning of the post, my recommendations only apply to the use of Doterra Essential Oils. I do not trust, support, endorse or recommend any other brand.
WHICH ESSENTIAL OILS CAN YOU INGEST AND CAN BE TAKEN INTERNALLY?
You cannot ingest all Essential Oils. Some of them are suitable for internal use, and some are not.
As a general rule of thumb, Oils that come from fruits and berries (Lemon, Orange..), herbs (Rosemary, Thyme) or roots (Ginger, Turmeric) can be ingested. Oils that come from trees (Siberian Fir, Wintergreen) CANNOT BE INGESTED.
HOW TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS INTERNALLY?
There are several ways to use Essential Oils internally.
Firstly, you could just put a drop under your tongue. This method, for example, works very well to fight a persistent headache: use a drop of Frankincense under your tongue, every half hour or so until the pain subsides.
Secondly, you could add a drop to water or any drink (smoothies or juice for example).
Thirdly, you can cook with Essential Oils (make flavoured cooking oils, or use a drop in your baking ….).
Lastly, put a few drops in a veggie cap and swallow with some water.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TAKE ESSENTIAL OILS INTERNALLY?
Using a veggie cap is the best way to use Oils internally in my opinion.
Some Essential Oils are considered “hot Oils” (Oregano and Cassia for example), as they are extremely powerful. The internal use of these Oils is ONLY possible by using a veggie cap, so that the Oils don’t actually come into contact with the inside of your mouth or your throat and oesophagus.
Using a veggie cap is the safest way, especially if you are in doubt.
DOTERRA’S “SUPPLEMENT FACTS” LABELS
When you invest in Doterra’s products, you want to make sure you are using them correctly, to get the best results from them.
With such a large and amazing range of Doterra Essential Oils, both as a single oil, or a blend, how do you know which products are safe to take internally?
WHICH ESSENTIAL OILS ARE SAFE FOR INTERNAL USE?
When in doubt, read the labels!
Doterra clearly states on every label what is the best way to use that Oil or Blend.
WHAT ARE “SUPPLEMENT FACTS”?
If the bottle has a “Supplement Facts” label, that oil is intended to be used 3 ways – aromatically, topically, and internally.
If it doesn’t have the “Supplement Facts” label, the oil is intended to be used topically or aromatically only.
