Essential oil supplements While the use and success of dietary supplements is still widely debated and rather controversial, there is no denying that most diets are deficient of many important nutrients. When used in conjunction with a healthy, balanced diet, supplements (including essential oil supplements) can help those with nutrient deficiencies, promote cellular health, and improve other areas of general well-being.* Because essential oils provide many potential benefits when taken internally, it can be beneficial to take specially-formulated supplements that use essential oils, especially when you are working toward specific goals regarding your health and wellness. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
