Internal Use of EO

[Guest guest]

Here's a repost of one I made back in September 1998 .. in reply to

someone who asked how they should handle questions from clients ...

I would tell them that I can't recommend they take EOs internally - and,

I would not recommend they drink more than a couple of shots of Jack

Daniels per night, or keep loaded guns in the house or smoke cigarettes,

pipes or cigars.

 

Then, I'd tell them that I do take some EOs internally, do drink more

than a shot or two of Jack Daniels at a time, I keep loaded weapons in

the house (what good is an empty one?) and I smoke cigarettes. But I

NEVER recommend others do these things because (a) I'm not a doctor so

I can't prescribe medical treatment and (b) I don't want to take

responsibility for someone's misuse of a potentially dangerous things.

 

I understand that it's risky to recommend or appear to be recommending

folks take EOs internally, so we shouldn't do it. But, WE ALL KNOW that

it's a COMMON PRACTICE among some of the most knowledgeable folks.

 

Many (most?) of the books recommending internal use of EOs are written

by medical doctors. They are authoried to recommend EOs, tranquilizers,

and battery acid internally if they are foolish enough to suffer the

consequences. At least, they won't be brought up on charges for trying

to practice medicine without a license - just malpractice.

 

I'm quoting a brochure laying in front of me:

 

" Oil of Myrtle: The Queen of beautifying oils. For skin rejuvenation

apply it especially on the face and hands. Rub it all over the body for

the most exotic and romantic experience you'll ever feel.

 

Oil of Fennel: As an aid to digestion, and elimination as well as for

gas, stomach disorders, colic, irritable bowel, parasitic infections,

intentinal cramps, and weither loss. Added to juice or food, oil of

fennel imparts a unique taste that is reminiscent of licorice.

 

Oil of Cumin: The strong, noticeable taste of cumin signifies its

powers as a natural spice. Oil of cumin concentrates the immense

healing attributes of this special spice. So if you are looking for the

elite in antioxidant powers, select Oil of Cumin by XXXXX Co.

 

Oil of Oregano: Perhaps of all ancient herbs oregano is King. Oil of

Oregano is a powerful antiseptic, capable of killing a wide range of

germs while being safe for the human bnody. Usually, only small amounts

of oil of oregano are needed, like 2 or 3 drops twice daily. Apply it

topically, sublingually, or in juice or water. Add a small amount to

foods for a spicy and healthy effect. "

 

And on and on - I don't disagree with a lot of what this MEDICAL DOCTOR

is writing. But he is a doctor and can write such things. Also, he has

about 95% virgin olive oil in the oregano - and carriers in the others.

 

I recommend my employees take EOs internally and I have administered

them - correctly (in my opinion.) They have seen some miraculous cures

as a result. I will continue to recommend this as long as I am the one

who is administering the dose. I also pound the dosage into their heads

'cause I'm not foolish enough to think that they won't do it on their

own. I've also taught them what oils not to use. BUT, I live in

Turkey and folks don't get sued for liability here .. period! If I

lived in the USA, I would have to rethink my actions.

 

Best regards - and stay healthy with EOs. 'Course, I couldn't recommend

you take them internally....unless you move to Turkey......
