certain ones can be ingested in small well diluted portions are safe to but not all of them. they diffuse beautifully for me, they dont diffuse too heavily or strong but they still spread nicely throughout the space

The oils are not regulated by the FDA and I personally would not ingest them. They are wonderful for topical use or to diffuse.

I believe you can use absolutely any essential oil you choose, it's a really large well of water and I usually put about 10-12 drops of oil in, I tend to stick to lavender as the others leave a sticky residue over time but yes, lemon or citrus blends would work, sounds like you have some lovely combinations, all of these fragrances are ok to use in my opinion! Thanks!

Yes, I would use a carrier oil. We like to diffuse in a diffuser. I am not sure of the authenticity being that the oil is listed at a questionable price. Please purchase straight from Young Living https://www.youngliving.org/oilsbykelly Join as a wholesaler (no monthly quotas or fees) and get all the oils you want at wholesale price (24% off retail)!

This is the email I got from them about internally using their oils. "The internal use question is one we get quite often. Because many people use essential oils for self-medication and we are not licensed aromatherapists, we have to be very careful with the freedom given people in this respect. We do not know what medications, quantities and allergies people may have. We put "for external use" on our labeling for our own liability. This is very common practice in the US and many other companies that sell therapeutic grade oils, also put this on their labeling. Essential oils are highly concentrated and have the capacity to cause serious damage if used internally without the necessary expertise required in administering it. This is supported by the International Federation of Aromatherapists that does not recommend ingestion of essential oils unless under the supervision of a Medical Doctor who is also qualified in clinical aromatherapy. That being said, many of our loyal customers use our oils internally since they are the highest quality available, but we leave this up to the customer. "

Most essential oils should NOT be ingested. When cooking or baking, use extracts, not oils. Essential oils are extremely concentrated and "natural" does not mean safe. You can cause severe issues when ingesting essential oils. There are a couple mlm essential oil companies that advocate ingestion, but this is HIGHLY frowned upon in the world of certified aromatherapists. In fact, it causes quite a bit of aggravation. Please please please seek the advice of a CERTIFIED aromatherapist, not a distributor of a mlm essential oil company. Ingestion can be very dangerous.

I think that Young Living are a high enough grade to ingest, but I would definitely consult a professional before ingesting oils, especially if you are on any sort of medication. Essential oils acts just like a drug in your system, so you'd take the same precautions with them as with prescription drugs. The good news is that EOs are powerful and work (!!!), the bad news is that ingesting can be harmful if not done right. I use the oils on my skin and in my diffuser like nobody's business. I feel like I can heal almost anything with the right oil as long as it is a high grade oil.

I bought them for a friend who puts them in water spritzers bottles/atomizers for various uses (spray on feet, shoes, air freshener, fabric- anything stinky). You can put them in a diffuser as room fresheners. In short, they are not to be ingested.

No, it doesnt say on bottle where these oils can be ingested. There is a little pamplet that lists many uses for these oils however i.e., to freshen things (carpet). I use the oils in boiling water over the stove in a pot to freshen the air occasionally. Also you can dip some of the oils on a cotton ball and place in a vacuum cleaner for freshness. The only two oils I ingest personally are peppermint oil to freshen stale gum (heard it cools scalp for menopausal women too) and cinnamon oil. Other than that, I'd use disgresion if considering ingesting as some oils smell great but aren't palitable. Hope this helps!

You can do anything you want. But it is not listed as edible by Now Foods. The only list I could find on their website concerned different uses for aroma therapy. They do smell good enough to eat. That doesn't mean they are.

I'm not sure. I've never tried to use essential oils. You might be able to put a few drops in the water, but I would check with the manufacturer first.

Essential should not be diluted with anything unless you do not care for the quality and healing properties of oils you use. You can purchase cheaper oils that used mostly for aromas only, so you can save money that way. The good quality oils that are made for external and internal use are purer therefore more expensive. The noise on this diffuser is pretty loud when it diffuses, otherwise it is soundless.

I'm sorry. I only use it to disperse in the air, as a fragrance. So I don't know. I only have ever used essential oils for room fragrance purposes.

It is mainly used as a carrier oil for essential oils. You could use it topically like for massage by itself. It is not for eating.

Yes you can do that. It doesn't require more than a couple of drops of oil placed on the pad to provide a nice scent. This is a very economical way to diffuse essential oils in a small room.

The salts dessolve pretty quickly in liquid, but if you move quick it would totally work. I also have a pack of the unscented salts, which would be perfect to use with essential oils! Good luck!
