This is important. Please take the time to read fully if you or a loved one uses Essential Oils. I know I regularly step on toes with my outspeak against the internal use of EOs. I will state clearly, I do not object to them being used internally when administered by a trained and qualified practitioner. We may sell good quality oils but that does NOT make us qualified to recommend them for internal therapeutic use. Just because we read something doesnt make it safe. They are VERY strong medicine and must be respected as such. When used, minute amounts are needed and must be taken with care. More is not medicine, it is overkill and carries the strong potential of damage. Now with that in mind an article is circulating on the web about Thyme Oil which, while founded on a real study, is misleading. I am sharing here the abridged conversation between a fellow herbalist and aromatherapist with the highly respected Robert Tisserand, the article, and the link to the study. Please NOTE!!!!! This article did not give accurate information The article says 25 drops of Thyme Essential Oil given orally six times a day for total of 150 drops/day. I knew this was dangerous so asked Robert Tisserand. Thank God he responded. Heres his response: Everything they say here is true, but one tiny detail is missing. The thyme oil given was a 2% dilution, so instead of 25 drops x 6 (150 drops per day) it was a total of 3 drops per day.” What a difference 3 drops/day at a 2% dilution rather than 150 drops undiluted. Please be careful when you read such articles and question all. realnatural.org/thyme-oil-inhibits-cox-2-beats-ibuprofen-for-menses-pain/
