Generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by the FDA

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" (3. p. 96).

All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion.

Use caution when applying to hypersensitive or diseased or damaged skin.

Avoid use with abdominal pain.

Drug interaction: anticoalgulant medication (aspirin, heparin and warfarin); may contain methyleugenol; MAOIs or SSRIs (such as Lexapro and Zoloft); Pethidine (Demerol pain medication); Ephedrine; Major Surgery; Childbirth (one week before and after), severe Hepatic or Renal impairment; Peptic Ulcer, Hemophilia and other bleeding disorders; may inhibit blood clotting; embryotoxicity; skin sensitization (moderate risk); mucous membrane irritation (moderate risk).

Do not use topically on children under 2 years of age.

May inhibit blood clotting.

Repeated use can result in extreme contact sensitization.

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.
