Is there a difference between Oil of Oregano for aromatherapy vs. oil intended for intake?

by Elaine

I purchased some Oil of Oregano at my local organic grocery store and started taking a few drops per day as a preventative for bronchitis (which I get at least 2x a year because I have asthma, which then requires expensive antibiotics).

But I stopped taking it because the company's website only listed external uses, or inhaling a steam with the oil added. FYI: the brand is "Simplers". Is it safe to take a few drops of this a day in juice?

Hi Elaine,

I don't have to much experience with essential oils. What I do know is essential oils are usually distilled from the leaves, stem, or other parts of the plant. This is how regular Oil of Oregano is made; it is usually steam-distilled to get the oil. If the company you bought your essential oregano oil tells you not to ingest it, then I would follow those recommendations. You could purchase an Oil of Oregano that is made to be taken as a supplement to be safe. Here's more information on cooking with essential oils that you may find interesting. Good luck and I hope this information was helpful.
