I noticed that this product is intended for external use only. I purchased it planning on putting few drops in my water. Would that be ok?

It doesn't matter whether they tout "therapeutic grade" or not; not even the 2 major companies that say you can ingest their oils. It is still not a good idea to do so. EO's are very potent, and can damage delicate tissue and membranes in your mouth and throat. So...I wouldn't.

I know some people take citrus EOs internally but I personally haven't tried it. I would ask an herbalist first, I'm just hesitant to ingest the oils because they're so potent - of course even putting it on your skin it's still absorbed that way, so, it's basically the same thing. I use it to dab behind my ears. You could always try it and see if you have a reaction.

I wouldn't because it probably wasn't manufactured like a food product. It is meant to go in soaps or body sprays, etc.

I would not recommend it if you plan on drinking the water. Go to this site for specific guidance. There is a distinction between therapeutic essential oils which can be ingested. I do not believe this is one of those. I only use it for aromatherapy. http://www.livestrong.com/article/89536-essential-oils-safe-ingest/

I don't believe so. I use it as a delivery system for diffusing essential oils in water. I'm not sure what else you'd use it for.

Hi there - No it can not. It's clearly stated that it is NOT to be used for water in the Instruction Guide. Hope that helps. : )

According to the instructions it is not intended for outdoor use. We purchased it to use in an outdoor pond, and wrapped the controls in a plastic bag to protect from moisture.

I don't know. Perhaps ask or call the manufacturer for that as being submerged might not be an intended use.

I think it could get pretty wet and be fine. A commercial shows a guy surfing with it, and a YouTube review shows someone holding it under a running faucet. I wouldn't drop it in the swimming pool for a long period, but I'll bet it could withstand a quick dunking and be fine.

I would suggest you check with the manufacturer to be 100% sure. My disclaimer answer would be "NO", its not intended for outdoor use. But if you are using it in a dry setting where there is absolutely no water, liquids, snow near or touching it, I don't see why it would be a problem.

Yes! I use it in water all the time. It gets some water in it some times but it doesn't affect it's use.

I wish I could answer with authority. I've used the product outside for over a year, now. The problem is that, while it is outside, it is also sheltered from rain. I don't know if water would hurt the product or not.

I've dropped mine in the pool before without any negative effects. It should still essentially be usable under water.

YES!!! - this product is AMAZING !! If you are using it for you own personal Health or for Plants it is absolutely terrific to keep you healthy and won't harm your Mountain water one bit. Just don't spill it fully on you at 35% cause it will burn right into your flesh. Thanks

I think that would work great. I've only used it for water but I think you have a good idea!

The product should probably not be used in wet environments. Don't leave it out in puddles or in the rain.

I use them externally, although I believe some are safe for internal use. For example, I would use the mint or cinnamon or lemon in homemade toothpaste. It says "external use" right on some bottles.

Yeah, you probably don't want to put it directly under the water though. I took it kayaking and it got splashed a few times and still worked fine.

Yes. It is suggested a few drops be added each use. Not much maintenance for great performance, though.

I bought this as a gift and when I forwarded them your question, here's the response I received: I doubt it's meant for outside use. I think it wouldn't last too long. Hope this helps!
