Guest guest Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hello All I do a local farmers' market all summer and generally it is a great time. Recently, I have been mobbed by different EO " sellers " and " healthcare professionals " who want to sell me their wares. Primarily YL. But, yesterday was one of the worst. There were three of 'em hovering over a five hour period. Anyway one man who sells rocks and is in a booth next to mine, asserted in a loud public voice that we (people in the US) need to learn to use EOs like the Europeans: take EOs internally by placing a drop or two of whatever under the tongue. I don't plan on doing this, but I would really like to know if this is common practice anywhere in the world. So, can anyone comment on this for me? Thanks a lot.

Yes...particularly in France...By doctors' prescriptions... I do not know how common the practice is... Sublingual application is the term.... Also done via suppository.... Gets into the bloodstream without having to deal with stomach acid, etc. involved in normal oral ingestion.... Personally, I've always stuck with inhalation to achieve the same goal..... -- Gary W.
