Ingesting is another way to use Doterra Essential Oils

Another way to use essential oils is by Ingesting them.

Of those that write on oils use there is a wide variety of opinions
about internal consumption. Some recommend it often, others
distance themselves from it. Internal consumption of essential
oils is best done with professional advice.  Listed here are some
common techniques to consider:


Tea - A common methods for ingesting essential oils are
to add 1 or 2 drops to a half cup of warm water and drink or sip as
needed.  (This is often used for an upset stomach with an oil like
Peppermint or a blend such as DigestZen).  Use care not to have the
water too warm as the oils will dissipate rapidly and you will lose
the potency.


Water - Oils are often added to cold water and
ingested.  This would include procedures such as citrus oils or
blends for appetite suppression or using Lemon oil for its
cleansing effect.


Capsules - Many add the oils in a capsule and taking
orally as you would traditional medications.  Depending on the
strength needed a carrier oil may be added to the capsule to
"buffer" the essential oil.  Also many protocols have
multiple oils added to the same capsule for a desired blend. Basic
info on using capsules on this page.


Swishing- or allergies a method is suggested of adding
2 to 6 drops of oils (Peppermint, Lemon and/or Lavender) to a
teaspoon of water and swishing in the mouth for a minute and
swallowing.


Pulling Oils - Not quite considered ingestion, but does
involve oils in the mouth, is the method of 'pulling oil.'
This is a therapy that is proven to improve the health of gums and
teeth. Others feel it has further detoxifying qualities.  Choose
an appropriate carrier such as grapeseed, coconut, or olive oil.
Combine 2 drops of an essential oil such as Clove, Myrrh, or
Peppermint.  Then without swallowing, swish and pull the oil
mixture through the teeth and around the mouth for 5-10 minutes,
then spit out the mixture without swallowing. Then brush the teeth.


Enema - Affectionately called the Butt Bomb.  Add the
desired oils to a 00 capsule and fill the remainder with coconut
oil and insert appropriately or add the oils and approximately 25
drops of carrier oil to the enema syringe and apply. (the reason
for this uncomfortable protocol is that this is one of the more
effective ways to get oils deep into the lungs)


Before taking an oil internally, check its references and determine
that it is certified as GRAS (generally regarded as safe) by the
FDA. Most doTerra oils are GRAS.
