Why can't this be taken internally? Other brands of Clary Sage say they can be taken internally.

I do not know why other than that the company doesn't want to get sued if misused. I have noticed that almost all of therapeutic grade essential oils say that although you can take some internally. However, my sister and I both use some essential oils internally, recognizing the risks, but since they are therapeutic grade, they are way potent. So if you decide to use it internally, make sure to read the risks and understand that you are responsible for doing so. I haven't taken this one internally to tell you anything more.

Typically when there is a warning against internal usage on an essential oil, the oil is not pure enough to be used in that way. Other manufacturers of Clary Sage give directions as to how to take internally.

Typically, to make a consumable retail heath product, requires the FDA to test and approve it. Which requires more time and money than it is worth... there is a risk involved but it is not that a product can't be consumed, it's that it hasn't been FDA approved. Yet, one should ALWAYS research an oil before ingesting, as almost all are toxic if the dose is too large and some are outright poison.

I have taken it my mouth. I have only used it once, but I mixed it with a green smoothie. I did not have any bad reactions to it. To my knowledge Clary Sage is able to be taken orally. Hope this helps.

There is a school of thought that feels taking oils internally is not safe. If you're looking for EO that are safe to use internally, check out Spark Naturals or Native American Nutritionals. I've purchased from both and can attest to their product and their customer service. Both are outstanding. With that said, this is a nice product, but I wouldn't take it internally simply because it doesn't say it can be.

Yes it does go inside for internal hemroids. I find that it stays cold longer than a similar product I purchased. Mine seems to last about 10+ minutes. Good products

No it is not. Actually, I am sending my last bottle back or would like to send it back. They seem a little reluctant to take anything back. I questioned the amount of 'A' in contents as taking 'A' for some time hurts the liver and all sorts. It is entirely to be taken on your own recognizance.

Are essential oils FDA approved? I don't know . . . It's not intended to ingest as a food or drug anyway.

Web MD suggested the following. Taken by mouth for intestinal parasite. Cold and flu. Arthritis. On skin for acne dandruff wart insect bite cerixosis vein muscle pain. Check webmd.com. However it is too strong for me to use it internally. I would be careful.

If you compare apples to apples, Pure Clay is competitively priced with the other highest-quality, food-grade clays that can be taken internally. We've spoken with experts in the industry who advised us that cheaper clays that are mined from the surface layer have environmental contaminants and so can't be taken internally. Because our skin is as absorptive as our digestive tract, we don't want to put a cheaper, toxin-laden product on it, because those toxins will eventually end up in our livers. When you put Pure Clay on your skin, there are absolutely no toxins to be absorbed. In addition to being the highest quality clay we could find, our full 16oz jar of Pure Clay lasts much longer than other external-only products with only 8 or 2 ounces in the jar. We've measured it and you can get 76 masks or 19 cups (152 one-ounce servings) of prepared clay water from one jar. That's a lot of value for the price and we encourage you to compare that with other lower quality, external-only products. Thanks for asking. We appreciate the opportunity to give you more information.

Rosie, Our oil is 100% pure and steam distilled and it goes through an extensive testing method called GCMS. "The Essential Oils - The Complete Guide to the Use of Oils in Aromatherapy and Herbalism" talks about the use of Essential Oils Internally, "Due to the high concentration of essential oils (and the high toxicity of a handful of essences), it is not recommended that they be taken at home in this manner. The International Federation of Aromatherapists also advises against this method of application. However, since essential oils are readily absorbed through the skin, they can affect the internal organs and systems of the body by external use." There are very few benefits of taking and using Lavender oils internally. You benefit the most by using Lavender Oil topically and aromatically. If your main need in Lavender Oil is for internal use I suppose our brand is not for you. We stand behind our oil with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and we believe it is just as good if not better than any other!

Yes! You will need to use a carrier oil if you plan on putting this anywhere topically. You could order your carrier oil or buy it at any health food store as well. It's not as expensive as the thieves so I just get mine at a local place. Jajoba, vitamin E and almond oil are good ones to use, whichever you prefer! (Thieves can be used internally as well. Just put 1-2 drops in an empty glass and then add water to mix and drink.

Contact the company and ask if their oils can be ingested. If not, they are not theraputic grade.

I found this blog very interesting... It may help clarify it for you!!! That's why I ask if there is a supplemental nutrition fact on the back... If you can't ingest it then it's loaded with other chemicals... And that's how they can sell it so cheap... Hope this helps!!!http://aromatherapy4u.wordpress.com/2013/01/12/how-to-quickly-tell-if-an-essential-oil-can-be-ingested/

According to my herbal medicine teacher Susun Weed, and many others, this comfrey is mislabeled, as is all that is sold in the United States. This is perfectly safe to consume internally. You can google 'comfrey leaf safe Susun weed ' to start. She addresses this to very question because naturally many people are confused by the mislabeling.

Probably could but wouldn't it be better to use something that is not made from oil, like a vegetable oil or something that is food grade? Esspecially if there is a chance of digesting it,

Being a nurse l would say no. It would have to be prescription. I never read that in the ingredients.

I don't know why you can't use it inside. I used it inside and outside, well no mice or rats in or outside my mouse.!!!
