This would not be one I would take internally - not at this price! It's probably got other carrier oils that shouldn't be ingested, and may even be toxic.

Any good aromatherapist will guide you in the process of taking a essential oil internally. Every book and reference I have looked at has stressed not taking things internally unless under guidence of a professional. The external use only is a legal protection to prevent misuse, which is very easy without the pros oversight. Despite the guidance of one or two companies, taking any eo internally could potentially damage your intestinal track.

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 also suspect that the methods of consumption are largely based on the ways in which the product is stored. I have seen many types of oils, some commonly consumed internally, that are sometimes designated as suitable for internal use with the same product designated in other places that the oils are not food grade, or for external use only.

In some cases it is pure, but not all brands. It is not considered a food, and would not be necessarily begood for the stomach area, although it's not poisonous. It's featured for it's wonderful, sweet, soothing aroma,and needs to be enjoyed on the outside of the body---for smell and on the skin. It is not the kind of aroma that would be successful in flavoring food and needs to be enjoyed by itself. We find that it's aroma gives us a feeling of peace and contentment and relaxation. It's been famous for many years---even in the Bible!!!

Many essential oils will also cause damage to the liver if taken internally...yes EOs come from plants, but they're extremely concentrated and should be treated like any type of medication...not taken willy nilly

That's not how I'm using it and I'm certainly no expert but I don't see why not. All components in contact with liquid appear to me to be inert.

This is more like a thick liquid. I think this one can be used internally but probably could be used on burns and cuts as well.

Contact the manufacturer Body Solid. Most end users have already disposed of the packaging and don't have the ability to do chemical composition tests....

I don't know. I stopped taking the product. Maybe that's why it didn't work.

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.

The label says that this powder is for external use only, used for making lotions, creams, sun care and other sun products, shampoos, makeup products (e.g. lipsticks). It's an ultrafine powder that dissolves very easily in water & alcohol. The label says it's 99.4% pure with a pH3. I use it to make a Vitamin C serum with distilled water, glycerin and aloe vera. If it's so pure, I don't know why it couldn't be ingested, but the label says "external use only."

You should be able to use it daily or as needed. It's just an ointment that should be used on external skin.

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.

I also wanted to use it as a dental rinse (0.12%) for my dog but decided against it. All the 1 gallon containers of 2% Chorhexidine gluconate are labelled "For External Use Only" and the one from Durvet (see Q&A; section) contains a list of other ingredients (alkyl dimethylamine oxide, polyoxyethhylene-6-cocamide, octylphenoxypolyethoxyethol, polyethylene glycol etc) besides fragrance & dye. These ingredients were NOT listed on the package. Only the active ingredient Chlorhexidine Gluconate was listed on the bottle.

I'm not using it for oral intake. Im using it for mixing with paint. I'm sorry I can't answer your question.

I am sure that you can, it is pure and has no additives. But do not use large quantity because it is concentrated.

My can of Sunnyside linseed oil says "Do not take internally" so I would have to say NO, dont eat it.,

MSM is used by many people with crèmes or butters for application to skin. There should not be any reason why you could not use oil. If you are using it externally it will be taken up through the skin. Make sure the oil is one that works well with uptake. If you use it internally, drinking it in juice or water is just fine. My family uses it every day. It is natural and water soluble and the body uses what it needs the rest excretes.

Go to their website. They have several tutorials on different ways to mix and take internaly.

I cook with it, so I know it can be consumed safely. I have not used it in dietary supplements. Experiment with it and see what happens, it cannot hurt because it is good to use in your daily diet.

Almost all essential oils except for maybe a few are external, and I mean external. You could get sick trying to digest that stuff. But if you want a version of this stuff to internally take then use herbs because they're made to digest in which they all come from plants. But due to the way they're extracted from the plant, and or the area of the plant it comes determines rather it's a herb or a essential oil.
