I've shared this before, I'm sharing it again and I'm going to keep sharing about it. It's a subject that is very important.
You don’t know if your not educated and I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't teach you.
So first up with the fresh start of what I'm passionate about as a CMA Registered Certified Clinical Aromatherapist, is about ingesting essential oils.
This information will be broken down into parts.
Please if you have any questions reach out, I'm just a message away.
Part 1 Taking essential oils internally
Essential oils are concentrated extracts from plants usually steam distilled or cold pressed, that contain volatile organic compounds known as terpenes, phenols, aldehydes, and ketones.
As they are so concentrated small amounts can carry strong biological effects that are both potentially helpful and harmful.
Health authorities warn that essential oils are not safe to consume, even in small amounts due to risk of poisoning.
Poison Information Centres often advise against ingestion unless under medical or toxicological supervision.
Here are some of main risks or adverse effects associated with taking essential oils internally 👇
❌️Toxicity to organs (liver, kidney, etc.)
❌️Neurotoxicity and seizures
❌️Gastrointestinal irritation, burns, nausea, vomiting
❌️Respiratory and cardiopulmonary effects
❌️Allergic reactions and hypersensitivity
❌️Interaction with medications
❌️Accidental poisoning especially in children
These 👆 are just some of the reactions.
Something that I see 👀 and get asked alot about is adding essential oils to water 💧 to drink 🤦♀️ Essential oils and water DON'T mix therefore those drops of essential oils stay undiluted and can cause irritation or even burn the digestive tract.
⚠️ ESSENTIAL OILS ARE NOT SAFE TO CONSUME even if blended with a carrier oil⚠️
As a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist and Member of the Complementary Medical Association there is so much knowledge and information on this subject, the safety of essential oils that I'm so passionate to share more with you as I honestly do care about you.
Your health and wellbeing is important and so is your safety.
