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. > Hi Dian...... 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. Bourbonais L'Hermite Aromatique A.J.P. (GIA) http://www.facebook .com/Le.Hermite The YL disciples are so careless and negligent in their approach. They are advocating the use of internal medicine without a license bottom line. Not to mention the effects are unknown.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 A friend of mine is being told to put Lemon essential oil in her tea. I have had no training on using essential oils by ingestion. Does anyone know if this is ok? The woman talking her into these things is of course, none other than a young living aromatherapist. Any thoughts? - bearwallowsoaps Thursday, September 10, 2009 5:09 PM Ingestion of EOs Never ingest any EO unless under the direction of a professional.

Any thoughts? Outside of the Aromatherapy industry essential oils are used primarily for flavoring many things including fruit juices, soda, herbal teas, icing, toothpaste, pharmaceuticals, functional foods and beverages, hummus, candies and I could go on.The key point is that manufacturers use food grade essential oils in parts per million for their formulations. This is accomplished in a lab that carefully measures and tests for flavor and aroma. This is far different from adding a few drops of oil in a cup, which is extremely concentrated by the way. They employ scientists and chemists to make sure that they are not putting public health at risk, unlike unqualified YL disciples who only know what they have read in a book.This is a case of the blind leading the blind!Be well,Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? And her qualifications are....<G>...? A YL Aromatherapist is an oxymoron, most of the time.... In this case, the rec is pretty innocuous... You do essentially the same thing with lemon peel in tea...lemon EO is typically expressed from the peel, along with a number of other citrus EO....they usually don't ever see a still... I personally think lemon is underrated as a 'therapeutic' EO...... But that's just my opinion... I cook regularly with olive oil flavored with garlic EO* and/or oregano EO..... The largest users of EO on the planet are the food industry folks... We've all been 'using' EOs a lot longer than we might think... Care... -- Gary W. Bourbonais L'Hermite Aromatique A.J.P. (GIA) http://www.facebook.com/Le.Hermite *Uhhhh..you don't want to mess with this stuff, garlic EO, unless you are prepared...Mine is in it's bottle, with two baggies sealed separately around it, and then finally in another jar... And I still get a whiff, when I open the cabinet... Liberty is the only place I've ever seen it, and damn, is it great with cookin...! Throw some in someone's heater vent in their car, and it becomes uninhabitable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
