oil is processed through the body’s systems. When used internally, some essential oils should not be placed
directly on the tongue or directly in the mouth and swallowed due to their individual chemical design and how
it effects the body. Some oils are merely too strong to be taken directly, or without altering the application
method. These oils can be taken internally by adding two or three drops to a veggie cap, putting one or two
drops in recipes, or placing one drop of oil in at least four ounces of liquid. The following are considered
“strong oils” and should be used cautiously due to their potency:
. . . . . Cassia
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Clove
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Oregano
