Plant Therapy does not believe in ingesting oils. They have a blog you can join.

In my experience with Plant Therapy they are very high quality oils at a small percentage of the price of the DoTerra or Young Living oils. If you go to their website they have lot's of information as well as on staff aromatherapists to answer questions! I only use PT oils.

I only use them in a microderm machine and I have never heard of using essential oils with them. Maybe if you are making a manual microderm solution

Hi Rachel,They are not that grade of oil that is to be used topically on the body. Only in aromatherapy and cleaning things I believe.

No, it doesnt say on bottle where these oils can be ingested. There is a little pamplet that lists many uses for these oils however i.e., to freshen things (carpet). I use the oils in boiling water over the stove in a pot to freshen the air occasionally. Also you can dip some of the oils on a cotton ball and place in a vacuum cleaner for freshness. The only two oils I ingest personally are peppermint oil to freshen stale gum (heard it cools scalp for menopausal women too) and cinnamon oil. Other than that, I'd use disgresion if considering ingesting as some oils smell great but aren't palitable. Hope this helps!

From the now food site: "A lot of people ask if our essential oils are edible. The answer for most is "Yes, but..." Essential oils are typically labeled For External Use Only as a warning to use them very cautiously, even such pure edible oils as those from lemon or orange peels. Essential oils are very strong and even non-toxic ones may be irritating or uncomfortable if not used carefully and sparingly. If you use a recipe, a greater measure of both success and safety is more assured. The book Aromatherapy for Everyone is co-written by a NOW herbal specialist."

Yes, you can use it in oil diffuser. Sometimes I mix it with Eucalyptus, when kids are sick.

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!

Absolutely. We use these oils to our massage cream at our salon for aroma therapy during massage. :)

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'.

No... Do not use any oils or medications with this machine. The manufacturer advises against this.

You can apply either to wounds for medical purposes, for mixing with essential oils or cooking with. I like the fractioned coconut carrier oil better for aromatherapy as it has no oder and does not leave your skin feeling oily. I think sometimes when you use the cooking oil's that are thicker (they often come in a jar in the cooking section and are more of a paste) either have a little scent to them or leave your skin feeling a bit oily.

Absolutely! Just mix your essential oil with the carrier oil of your choice such as jojoba, castor, or another. I would probably mix 1 oz carrier oil to 5-7 drops of peppermint oil (adjust as necessary) to stimulate blood flow and promote hair growth. I would suggest using at night because of the lingering scent which will fade by morning.

Yes, these essential oils work great in a diffuser. I add approximately 8 to 10 drops to water in my diffuser and it creates a wonderful aroma! :o)
