I have been using the oils for around six months now. I am trying to build my supply. I am not sure about the ingestion of oils. Lately I have been making my own blend in a veggie cap of three to four drops each of lemon, peppermint and lavender due to allergies and sinus headaches. I am concerned what this does to my organs. I have no problem with putting oils topically on my neck, feet, ears and wrists. Pease advise what you know about ingesting oils. I do use a pure oil brand (I think I do) it is Doterra. Please let me know what you do. I also use the oils on my children.
Thank you for all of your information.

I use lavender oil for sleep so I had some on hand. I got 3 red ant bites on my toe and it really hurt. Since lavender oil is used for burns I decided to use it on my toe for the bite. Within 3 minutes the pain was gone and when I looked at it later, the swollen area was gone – like I never had a bite. Absolutely amazing since I’ve had these bites before and they are painful for a week. Judy~~

please doctor, I have bought quite a few of essential oils (intend and working towards buying more) but yet to begin using them. Though I have clove essential oil added to warm water a few times. I am hyperthyroid, graves and goiter and not on medication my last test as at January 2015, results showed all levels normal and my eye is normal now NO LONGER bulged it’s just the goiter seems to increase gradually – I need your advise on how to shrink the goiter with essential oils. I learnt that frankincense is good for it as I have read other people’s stories and good results from using frankincense and would like to try. Please help me with a good guide in using essential oils to manage my hyperthyroid issue. My email address is above and would appreciate a reply sent to my inbox. Thank you and God bless.

I developed an extreme case of eczema as a rebound from Prednisone. It has reduced since I had light treatments. I do not like to continue to use steroid cream for itching. Could lavender oil help and should I mix it with another oil?

Dear Dr. Axe,
Do you recommend any supplements or combination of them for ear ringing or tinnitus. It’s driving me crazy!!

In reply to Dr. Josh Axe. Check out Essential Oil University....also on FB. Dr. Papas, who is world renowned essential oil expert & chemist, addressed this question recently. There are NO hormones in EO that are pure & unadulterated. That does not address most of them on the market that are synthetic, diluted with other additives or distilled with solvents or other chemicals/toxins.

Hi Dr Axe,
How can lavender oil help with with acne? My daughter has tried everything, and if this last treatment doesn’t work, the dermatologist mentioned Accutane. That drug sounds frightening!

Do the oils work as well when rubbed or rolled on your skin? My husband has a roll on lavender he uses to help with anxiety and swears it helps. It must be absorbed and gets into your system that way. I always thought you needed to inhale it for best results. I love the smell!!

RE: Tinnitus ( Ringing in the Ears)

I have this problem for many years. Medical Science provides NO help. The last week in Oct 2014 the problem was continuous and I started to actively address it. Since I have worked nights for 20 years and my vit d was probably not good I started with taking 2000 – 3000 units of D3 everyday, as well I find that Tinnitus is linked to a deficit in B 12 this had worked temporarily ( 1 day ) I added potassium use because.and this regime worked a little better ….. now I’m in the addition to my Vitamin intake I’ve started to massage Lavender essential oil into the bottoms of my feet, focusing on areas of Brain and ears according to Reflexology, 2nd day now and find ringing reduced 97%

Where do you get the lavendar oil capaules

Just wanted to clarify some major information errors. The ancient Greeks referred to a specific strain of Lavender (Lavandula stoechas) as “Nard”, and having more resinous oils than most Lavender, it’s SUGGESTED that THIS SPECIFIC STRAIN ONLY, MAY have been used in SOME Spikenard recipes during these times, and in these specific areas. However, true Spikenard, used to anoint the feet of Jesus, used in mummification, etc, has no definite relation to lavender whatsoever, and today we know Spikenard as a completely different plant (Nardostachys jatamansi) which produces a completely different oil for completely different purposes. They are not interchangeable, and even cats can tell the difference. Cats are attracted quite happily to Spikenard, but repelled by Lavender. They should never be classified as being the same substance.

Good morning Dr! A question for you. I have a 9 year old son who has a problem with focusing. He has been tested negative for ADHD and has been through therapy for a year now but I don’t see any changes. We even tried medication for 6 months but I put a stop to it when I saw no results. Do you have any recommendation? Any vitamins intak? Thank you.

Each oil is beneficial in some way, but I cannot use or apply all of them. I had Cushing’s Syndrome 20 years ago and although i am completely recovered (adrenal gland and tumor were removed successfully and other adrenal gland is working fine), I still have scars from striea. It sounds like frankincense and lavender may help my skin, but I like the immune boosting properties of other oils, and the ability of other oils to balance blood sugars and to help with inflammation of the joints. Should I mix all together and diffuse all at once? I am sure my husband would complain about the smell. Would it be better to alternate a different oil each day? Is there such a thing as too much as with oil of oregano? I have four kids, and used Plant Therapy’s “immune” Blend and “Germ Fighting” blend on their feet last winter, and none of us missed a day of school/ work (I am a substitute teacher). I could do that again or diffuse certain oils (in the whole house? all day? in their bedrooms? all night? 30 minutes before they go to bed?) Or I could clean with Theives . . .
I guess I just need to know how many oils can be mixed together, how long and when to diffuse, how long can an oil be used before it causes liver damage, is it better to diffuse or apply topically, or take internally, how do you know if an oil is safe to be taken internally . . .?
Thank you so much for your help in keeping us healthy!
