Internal:
Although the quality of Selah Oils is excellent, it is not advised to take essential oils internally unless under the guidance of a certified physician who is also certified in aromatherapy. We recommend getting internal dosing instructions from a licensed physician as some essential oils are not recommended for oral consumption. This is in no way a reflection on our oil quality, only a matter of safety and caution with respect to how concentrated essential oils are. When used within safe parameters, and under your physician's care, the quality of our essential oils is such that they can be used internally if deemed appropriate. However, with that said, it is important to remember the extreme concentration of essential oils. "Using essential oils by rubbing them into the skin or via inhalation is in many cases more effective than oral delivery" (7. p.96).All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion.
Cautions
Do not use Patchouli in cases of anorexia or with elderly people who have lost their appetite as it can reduce appetite.
Patchouli may inhibit blood clotting - caution when using anticoagulant medications (aspirin, heparin, warfarin, etc.). Avoid use one week before and after a major surgery or childbirth. Avoid with hemophilia, peptic ulcers, and other bleeding disorders.
General EO Cautions:
All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion. It is not advised to take essential oils internally unless under the guidance of a licensed physician who is also certified in aromatherapy.
If for any reason you get essential oils in your eyes, put carrier oil along the eyebrows above the eyes and on the cheekbones below the eyes.
Do not put essential oils inside your ear canal.

I always loved the scent of Patchouli as a teenager, so I was very excited to buy this oil 20 years later!! Not only do I still enjoy the scent, but now I can use it to benefit my health and personal care routine as well. Thanks, I love it!
