Is It Safe for You to Eat Essential Oils?
- Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts obtained through distillation and pressing. This process captures the aromatic compounds responsible for the oils' fragrance and therapeutic effects
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) designates some oils as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), meaning food-grade oils are safe to ingest in tiny amounts
- GRAS essential oils like peppermint, lemon, ginger, cinnamon, and basil can be used to flavor foods and beverages. This reflects their culinary value when used sparingly
- Other essential oils, such as lavender, eucalyptus, tea tree, rosemary, chamomile, wintergreen, and camphor, are best suited for aromatic or topical use
- Whether in food, through scent, or applied to the skin, essential oils support wellness when used with care and intention
