You always want to make sure that the essential oils you choose to use internally are the purest available and that they come from plants that are safe for human consumption. Fortunately, Young Living has a line of essential oils specifically labelled for internal use with directions on how to do so safely.
There’s no difference in purity and authenticity when it comes to our Vitality™ (in some countries known as “+” oils) and our topical/aromatic oils, but our Vitality line is clearly labelled for internal use.
I am positive you have heard about Capsules we use for ingesting oils.
Capsules are designed to be filled with essential oils for an easy way to get your daily dose. It’s a convenient way to use them and safe for people with various dietary restrictions.
Vegetable capsules come in different sizes: size 00 can hold up to approximately 15 drops (of essential oil) which in most cases is enough.
It may also be comforting to know that vegetable capsules are all-natural, easily absorbed in the gut, and do not pose any health risk to long-term consumers.
If you use your oils in capsules, share with us your “filling” combination!
