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" (Schnaubelt, Kurt, Ph. D. Advanced Aromatherapy. p. 96).
All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion.
Cautions
Photosensitive: Avoid direct sunlight for a minimum of 12 hours after application.
Avoid lemon oil with high blood pressure.
Can cause extreme skin irritation.
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.

New favorites!
I recently received lemon and orange oil and they are fantastic. I was previously purchasing from a different company but I much prefer these oils and will be ordering again.
Love Selah Oils
Selah is our favorite brand! Picking oils is always easy and quick and we usually get our order within 2-3 days. I recommend Selah to anyone I know that uses oils!
Love the Lemon!
The smell of the lemon is wonderful! I like to pick it up and just inhale the fragrance throughout the day. A couple of years ago, I had a wart on my finger. I had some of this lemon in my desk drawer and just decided to put some lemon on it. I continued to put the lemon on it and then started wrapping a bandaid on on top of the lemon and eventually it went away!
Best Lemon Oil Ever
This Lemon essential oil smells pure, and not fake or like chemicals, as some lemon oils do. I use it on my dryer balls, and it makes our clothes smell like lemon, but not overpowering. Overall, super impressed!
Lemon Love
Lemon is one of my all time favorite smells. It seems to freshen and brighten things up at the same time. Happiness in a bottle. Everything I have purchased from this company has been amazing. Thank you for these great products.
