Can you use essential oils in tea? Like lavender essential oil?

or others?Can you use essential oils in tea? Like lavender essential oil?
Lavender oil, or any essential oil for that matter, should never be taken internally unless administered or prescribed by a full quaified aromatherapist or other health professional specialising in the uses and administration of such essential oils .............. what did you want to heal??





Try putting a few drops of pure essential lavender oil in a warm bath and soak in that for 15 - 20 minutes ~ inhale the beautifull calming aromas. It reduces stress and calms the nervous system, lifts depression and eases headaches and insomnia too 鈾?br>




caution ~ avoid using for the first 4 months ofpregnancy, longer if there is a history of miscarriage........... if that is the case simply substitue for chamomile tea ... Chamomile tea is a classic and popular bedtime anti - insomnia drink and will soothe the over excitable, relieve mental strain and stress, depression and insomnia............... only organic though, as the commercial varieties have had nearly all the essential oils pulverised from them and could never possibly be used for therapeutic purposes.





take care of you 鈾?br>

Star 4 u !! ....:0)Can you use essential oils in tea? Like lavender essential oil?
NO ESSENTIAL OIL SHOULD EVER BE TAKEN


INTERNALLY!!!!!





Essential oils should be diluted with a carrier oil


for use in body massage.


Please read and understand


what you are using BEFORE


using it.


Putting a full strength essential oil into tea would


most likely kill you.


To help you sleep, put a few


drops of the oil on a cloth and


put it under your pillowcase.


the same with hops extract.
Essential oils are not ment for tea. Would you put Perfume or cologne in your tea? In a sense that's sorta what you're asking. Essential oils can be used on the skin if made for that or in a vaporizer. Use the essential oils for what they were made for not anything else.. you don't want to make yourself sick do you?
essential oils arent supposed to be taken orally. The neat oils shouldnt be put straight onto skin either...they must be mixed in a base oil, such as olive oil and then used on the skin for massage or alternatively you can put a few drops in bath water... To help you sleep, try putting a few drops of the neat oil on your pillow. DONT DRINK IT!!
I am an Aromatherapist and I would recommend putting just a drop of lavender on your pillow at night, and remember that less is better don't try adding more to help you sleep because it will have the opposite effect. if it is too strong it will act as a stimulant. As for the tea why not try chamomile tea it is very relaxing. Ingesting a drop of lavender wont kill you, I have had it before with mixed with honey but I wouldn't recommend it really doesn't taste nice at all!!!! There are very highly qualified Aromatherapist that do ingest essential oils but they have done a lot if research and that's a whole other story!!
It depends on the essential oil. How about the essential oil of banana that is in bananas?





It does pay to use care. Some herb and essential oil cataloges separate the edible oils from the others.





Look up essential oils. Some are in foods as well, and some are poisons
Massage of the scalp with Lavender oil is refreshing and relieves the symptoms of headache which is also a cause of sleeplessness.
