I will start off by saying that I am not a doctor. I am also not an essential-oils specialist. I am a researcher, and I am here to share the information I’ve gathered from a number of resources, so you can make your own educated decisions.
Who loves essential oils?
I absolutely do and use them throughout my daily life– from DIY cleaning products, to making myself and my home smell nice, and even treating those occasional skin problems. Essential oils have found a place in almost every area of my life. And did you know they can be used medicinally as well? Some essential oils possess antimicrobial, antiviral, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties as well as purported psychogenic effects such as relieving stress, treating depression, and aiding with insomnia. We’ve been known to diffuse essential oils or use them topically, but what about ingesting them? Is it safe?
Upon doing much research, this question is debated among doctors and herbalists, and all have somewhat conflicting answers. For now, let’s focus on the FACTS.
The FDA has compiled a list of essential oils they consider “Generally Recognized As Safe” (GRAS). Many of them are used for food flavorings and preservatives due to their high anti-oxidant capacity and anti-microbial actions. The FDA’s documents note that the items on the list are safe in commonly used amounts. These are the amounts noted in most medical aromatherapy protocols. These approximate doses range around 1 to 3 drops, and 1 to 3 times per day. The oils should be labeled as “therapeutic” and of the highest quality.
The Atlantic Institute of Aromatherapy is the oldest aromatherapy school continually run by a practicing aromatherapist. They have been teaching classes in aromatherapy since 1989, have international students and global recognition. They are the only aromatherapy institute, school, or organization that is actively collecting safety-data reports on the adverse effects of essential oils and sharing the results with the aromatherapy community. Their curriculum includes guidelines to ingesting essential oils with hundreds of case studies to support their recommendations.
The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA) supports safe, internal use of essential oils. “Essential oils may be applied on the skin, inhaled, diffused or taken internally. Each of these methods have safety guidelines, which need to be considered.”
Lastly, I think one of the most important references is what the internationally acclaimed book, Essential Oil Safety: A Guide for Health Care Professionals, which repeatedly refers to “maximum oral dose” in relation to ingesting essential oils safely and effectively.
So, now that we are aware and understand that SOME essential oils can be beneficial to our health when ingested IN VERY SMALL DOSES with HIGH QUALITY THERAPEUTIC GRADE essential oils, I’d like to introduce to you a product called RADIATE IMMUNITY.
Radiate Immunity is an immune-boosting supplement that safely combines 9 essential oils and 9 botanical extracts that work synergistically to reduce inflammation, stress and the pathogens that wreaks havoc on the immune system. It helps to repair gut lining which allows collagen and other nutrients to be absorbed more efficiently. It also acts as a fast-acting, purifying agent for the blood, lung and lymphatic system, so it works great to combat sickness on the spot for both adults and children. The liquid ingredients are dark red (due to Dragons Blood, no really!) and administered in a veggie glycerin capsule. It is 100% safe (in fact, I encourage it) to break open a capsule and either let it sit under your tongue or gargle with it in the case of throat irritation or stomach issues. It has provided my family and I with instant relief in cases of sickness.
