I have been using real tea tree oil for oral health since the late 1980s. When you brush your teeth, you should not be swallowing your tooth paste. I even take a drop of tea tree oil - orally - when I am getting sick. I have never ever had any adverse reaction. Additionally, you'll find tea tree oil in mouthwash and oral rinse too. Not sure how much you've heard about ingesting, but tea tree oil has been used for many generations by aboriginals of Australia and New Zealand for oral and physical health benefits.

I'm not an expert, but I would say definitely not. This is to be used on furniture. It did a wonderful job in refinishing our teak dining room table. It is definitely not something you want to ingest. When I have applied oil to cutting boards, I have used edible oils - vegetable oil.

Essential oils of all kinds, including black cumin seed oil, are not to be taken internally, as they are toxic. They are for the outside surface of one's body, acting as a massage oil, or perfume.

My best guess is it is safe in extremely small doses and as long as there is no broken skin. It is virtually impossible to tell if there is broken skin deep in the ear canals. Tea tree oil is extremely toxic to dogs and cats. If it is ingested or applied topically on broken skin. It is toxic if applied topically in larger quantities even if the skin isn't broken. If you have questions you can call the poison control hotline. If your dog has yeast or fungal ear infections you can get a very inexpensive miconozole liquid from your veterinarian.

Our official stance on the ingestion of essential oils is this: "All of our Essential Oils are 100% pure free from any chemicals or pesticides. However, we do not recommend the ingestion of any essential oils. They are highly concentrated and have the capacity to cause serious damage if used internally without the necessary expertise required in administering it. This is supported by the International Federation of Aromatherapists." To learn more about ingesting essential oils, check out our post `Can Essential Oils Be Ingested'.

If you are asking about making a tisane tea for skin (like a mild toner that would be enough to impart a fragrance. If you are referring to making a cup for consumption I wouldn't drink it unless you can verify from the supplier that it was grown without pesticides. You could be drinking poison. I'm a nurse and I'm just cautioning you. THanks

Take one tea spoon twice a day on empty stomach or 20 min before meal ( first thing in the morning) if you have gastritis,ulcer or ulcerative colitis or other digestive system disorders including liver and gallbladder disorders. As always,whatch your body, some people might have individual intolerance to this oil. Do not take during acute phase of pancreatitis, cholecystitis, gallbladder or liver disorders. Read about it on siberiantigersnaturals dot com. There are many other reasons one might want to take it internally. Do not purchase it in capsules. Store in a dark cool place.

Thats not an easy question to answer. I use it on my face, it will kill bacteria which is good, but could dry out your skin which would make it produce more oil in response. Its a great soap. If you try it dont leave it on your face to long, the Tea Tree could burn your skin (not bad or anything, just stings a little if its on for too long).

I have done research and it is not a good idea to ingest any oils. They have to been approved by FDA.

Shouldn't smell like tea tree oil at all. However your memory can influence your smell. It should smell deep and rich. The bottles I've purchased from Sweet Sunnah have smelled all the same and never like tea tree oil.

I researched that also but was not able to find the answer without contacting the seller or manufacturer directly. I also researched the chemical that is commonly used and was convinced that even if its present the quantities are not large enough in tea bags to be harmful with normal daily useage.

Don't think you'd want to do that. Doesn't smell to good and it might burn a little though as an oil, I don, think it would cause you harm. But do not swallow any.

No! Cats cannot detoxify essential oils, including tea tree, lavender, etc, and they are very dangerous for cats. Please ONLY use this product for dogs, as recommended.

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.

I would ask a vet about it's ingredients. Sometimes things that are natural and perfectly safe for humans can be poisonous for our pets.

From the label of ingredients, there doesn't seem to be any reason for this product to harm you. So you probably could ingest it. However, I don't know why anyone would want to do so.

Use less than recommended on the bottle, otherwise your betta will die. Betta fish are extremely sensitive to tea tree oil, and the recommended dosage may kill them. Dilute the medication before administering it.
