Internal Use

[Guest guest]

This may be news to many, but most people in the US who eats or drinks

any kind of packaged food are often taking Essential Oils internally.

 

Companies like IFF (International Flavors and Fragrances

http://www.iff.com)make bazillions of products that go into food that

is made from essential oils. They are also, as I understand, the

largest consumer of essential oils in the world.

 

Companies like them even have weird things like " Lemon Flavor

Essential Oil " that is an oil you get if you take the juice from

thousands of lemons. It's different that the peel oil, and is the

result of many gallons of lemon juice and extracting the oil that

floats on top.

 

Take a quick look at their site and you will find stuff that will

amaze you. Like what are " cream and butter flavors " ?

This is true, but what is not explained is that the volumes of

essential oils used in individual foods are minute. Usually flavor

compounds are used which are likely to be a blend of naturals with

synthetics. The levels of use of oils in most products are so low the

average therapist or member of the public could not use them. This is

all completely different to using essential oils internally as often

advocated by outfits such as Young Living and others where massive and

dangerous amounts are advocated.

 

To all that must be added that the big boys know exactly what they are

using re quality, etc. They have the best analysts around. Therapists

and the public by and large have no idea and MANY are using fake oils

unknowingly.
