Each essential oil possesses a different chemical structure that will provide the body with unique properties and benefits. For example, some essential oils can be used internally to promote healthy cell function, support gastrointestinal health, or maintain healthy immune function, while others may offer internal cleansing benefits.* When used properly, essential oils hold a wide array of wellness benefits that can come from internal use.

Because our bodies are designed to metabolize and process natural compounds like plants and fruit, we are already equipped to metabolize essential oils. Essential oils are merely high concentrations of natural compounds—the part that gives plants their taste and smell. While some essential oils are never appropriate for internal consumption, there are plenty of oils that can be safely taken internally and processed by the body—much like other substances found in nature.

When it comes to safely using essential oils internally, there is a lot to consider. Most importantly, we must remember that not all essential oils are created equal—each essential oil has its own chemical makeup, its own set of benefits, and reacts with the body in its own way. In addition, essential oils are not created equally because harvest, production, and testing can vary from distributor to distributor. This means that while some essential oils are pure and thoroughly tested, others include fillers, preservatives, or impurities that lower the quality of the oil, and make it unsafe

• Always verify that the essential oils you are using are free of contaminants and impurities in order to protect your body from harm. While dōTERRA® uses third-party testing and analytics to ensure each essential oil bottle reaches high standards without chemical impurities, this isn’t true for all essential oil distributors. By using thoroughly tested, high quality essential oils, you’ll be able to safely and easily use essential oils internally.

• Always use essential oils that are recommended for internal use. Remember, there are some essential oils that should never be used internally—in any amount. Always check labels and instructions for use to ensure the essential oil is meant for internal use (there will be a nutritional label on the back if it is meant for internal use- as shown in the picture at the top)
