Why You Would Want to Use Essential Oils Internally: The Path to Reduced Toxins and Aging Better

Post by: KATHY SKINNER in Essential oil uses, aging, Toxins
Essential oils have long been used for aromatherapy, skincare, and wellness routines. While many people are familiar with using them topically or through diffusers, internal use is becoming increasingly popular. But why would you want to use essential oils internally? 
I have been using essential oils for well over a decade and have found that they have helped me in all aspects of my healthy living journey and I do think they have greatly contributed to my graceful aging and good health.

With the links you find on this page, I do receive a small commision at no additional cost to you.  The commision helps to support this website of information for you. Some items have extra savings for you as well, so take a look around at my Favorite Products & DIY Supplies page.

Let's explore some key reasons and the incredible benefits of this practice for reducing toxins and supporting graceful aging.
  
1. A Powerful Tool for Detoxification
One of the main reasons people are turning to essential oils for internal use is to reduce their toxic load. Essential oils likelemon, grapefruit, peppermint, and cilantro are known for their detoxifying properties. These oils can support the liver and digestive system, helping your body eliminate harmful toxins more efficiently. Over time, this can have a profound positive impact on your overall health and vitality.
 

2. Support Digestive Health
Certain essential oils are known to promote gut health, which is central to your well-being. Peppermint oil, for example, can soothe digestive discomfort and help balance your gut flora. When your digestive system is functioning optimally, you absorb more nutrients, which in turn supports healthy aging. A balanced gut reduces inflammation, which is a key contributor to premature aging.
Peppermint Softgels encapsulate CPTG® Peppermint essential oil in an enteric-coated softgel to promote digestive health. The softgel’s enteric coating allows the active ingredients to pass through the stomach and reach the small intestines where they are most effective.* This is also a much safer way to take the peppermint essential oil for this purpose.
 
3. Boost Immunity for Long-Term Health
A strong immune system is essential for healthy aging. Oils like Oregano, Frankincense, Coriander, Fennel, Cassia, and lemon to name a few, are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that help to strengthen your immune system from the inside out. Incorporating these oils into your routine can help you fend off illnesses and maintain energy as you age.
 

4. Promote Cellular Health
Many essential oils have regenerative properties that support cellular health. Frankincense, Helichrysum, lavender, and Sandalwood for example, promote cell turnover and protect against oxidative stress. Using these oils internally can help your body fight free radicals, which are a major cause of premature aging and skin damage. The result? More youthful, vibrant skin and overall vital


5. Natural Mood Boosters
Your mental and emotional health play a huge role in how well you age. Essential oils like lemon, bergamot, and lavender can enhance mood and reduce stress when taken internally. Lowering your stress levels can improve sleep, balance hormones, and keep inflammation in check — all critical components of slowing down the aging process.
 

Safety Tips for Internal Use
Getting Started
💧Use only high quality certified pure therapeutic-grade oils, which have the Supplement Facts listed on the bottle.
💧It is best to start with the smallest does possible, 1-2 drops. Then increase as needed depending on age, size and health status. - Taking more than 5 drops in a dose will not give any added benefits and can be potentially harmful. It is much better to take smaller doses and repeat every 4 hours or so as needed. 
💧Typically no more than 20 drops of essential oils should be consumed internally within a 24 hour period. But this can be higher or lower depending upon the oil being used and if it is used for daily or an acute situation.
💧 ‘Hot’ oils like Oregano and Cinnamon should always be diluted.
 
Effective Methods of Internal Application
💧Add essential oils to water, smoothies, milk, tea, or other drinks
💧Put a drop under the tongue (DO NOT doe this with 'HOT' oils)
💧Take in a veggie capsule or add to a small amount of applesauce or yogurt
💧Use oils in recipes for cooking or baking to replace fresh or dried herbs and spices (Remember, essential oils are much more potent than dried or fresh herbs and spices, so start with a very small amount like one drop. Use a toothpick for particularly potent oils.)


Incorporating essential oils internally offers a powerful, natural way to reduce toxins, support digestive and immune health, and promote graceful aging. By supporting your body from the inside out, essential oils can become a cornerstone in your long-term wellness routine.
