On top of all of this, you shouldn’t even be diffusing many of the things if you have pets! It varies depending on what type of animal (cat, dog, bird, rodent, rabbit, etc), but many of the most common ones can make your pet very sick or kill them when you put them in the air your breathe!

Spread this far and wide. Right now, there are people giving these things to their children and pets instead of legitimate medical or veterinary help. I’ve even heard of a restaurant that has a whole line of cocktails with essential oils added to them.
I just want to get a post spreading this again, since others haven’t been on my dash lately, and misinformation has: YOU CANNOT INGEST ESSENTIAL OILS.
There is no brand that you can inject. If it is an essential oil, you cannot consume it. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FOOD GRADE ESSENTIAL OIL. Doterra and Other similar companies will try to tell you that you can add them to food and drinks, but you cannot.
Please don’t do it. The list of side effects it can cause is truly almost endless, but I’ll list a few of them.
1. It can burn the inside of your body, including the throat and stomach.
2. It can similarly cause chemical burns.
3. Some oils, such as cypress, can cause medications to stop working.
4. Can cause respiratory distress and failure.
5. Can cause disturbances in the mucous membranes and cause coughing, vomiting, and more.
6. Eucalyptus can cause seizures.
7. Nutmeg can cause coma.
Pretty much no matter which oil you’re ingesting, you’re being poisoned. There is no safe essential oil to ingest. If you can’t do consume herbal concentrates, try an infusion or a tincture. But not an essential oil.
