Dangers of Essential Oils: Top 10 Essential Oil Mistakes to Avoid | Dr. Josh Axe
Essential Oil Safety (and Are Essential Oil Diffusers Safe?): http://bit.ly/2ShOEKX
Essential oils have been shown in studies to have very few negative side effects or risks when they are used as directed. But given how popular essential oils have become in recent years, and how many different brands of oils are now available, it’s not surprising that there’s some growing concerns regarding essential oil safety.
On this episode of Ancient Medicine Today, I’m talking about the top 10 mistakes people make with essential oils as well as internal use, topical use, and aromatic use.

I put a very small amount of grapefruit and sweet orange oil in a natural lip balm I was making just to flavour it a little. Can I not wear this outside? (I only put a few drops of each between 3 tubes)
Great content . Which is the best anti ageing oil we can use on face in summer / winter ?
I use essential oils in my soap making but it has carrier oils with it such as coconut and olive oil
where do you go to get certified?
Excellent and very informative video. Thank you.
Grow your own herbs and make your own
Thanks for information
Thankyou Mr Doctor.
The best oil in the world is olive oil.
Don’t go outside with lemongrass oil on your skin? A lot of ppl use that one as a bug repellent, so, er, usually ya’ be outside when you’re wearing it.
is it just me or you also think the guy presenting all kinds of oil is HOT?
I like to use olive oil. Works well for me.
Had a horrible reaction to Frankincense = nerves felt like they were on fire. Applied before bedtime on my feet. Won’t touch it again!
I nearly killed myself with a frankincense overdose last night ~ I put some granules in my burner, rubbed some of my oil on the soles of my feet, some on my abdomen and a few drops on the roof of my mouth, half an hour later I went to the bathroom and when I came back to bed I did the whole process over again, and felt terrible when I woke up this morning.
Lesson learned and more respect given..
Could you touch on oakmoss? I appreciate your opinion& generosity with information.
Cute, smart, NOBLE
I purchased the oils you suggested for first aid for cuts and to use to heal scars. I’m trying to determine how to use them by watching this video. I did not get the onion extract however. Is it crucial to have onion extract for healing scars. Do any of the oils you suggested for first aid and to heal scars require a carrier oil? Thank you.
Do you think essential oil works for anti-aging or is it the carrier oil that’s doing most of the work?
Thank you so much doctor
How do you use these oils?
twhat about turmeric essential oil
"Spot on"! Thank you.
Just started making beard oil. This video is super informative, as I am trying to have the safest and best quality oils for my customers! Thanks a lot !
I’m starting to create my own body sprays. I’m so glad I found your channel! I want to create scents for body sprays, air spray cleaning etc.I’m just starting out in this venue. I started with YT to check out some idea’s on Essential Oil and make these items. I never considered taking this internally and I know I wouldn’t do so now. I subscribe to your channel. Thanks
Is it okay if I used all these oils together with carrier oil for my hair?
I am a breast feeding mother, can I use frankincense and lavender essential oils on my saggy belly ? My belly skin has too much stretch marks too ? What should I use and how ? Please advise me.
Tea tree oil is an air purifier?
I only use them to scent a room. Never internally or on pets. Glad I don’t care for the bad ones. Pine gave me an odd headache I think. Some claim you can cook with them. Ugh. I’ll use the real thing.
Can you recommend a place that provides EO Certification? Thank you.
Being a certified aromatherapist, I advice/inform my clients on all the issues mentioned in the video as well. Glad to see that someone is giving such excellent information to those who are not trained or educated on essential oils, since they are not so “innocent”, “harmless” or “safe” as everyone thinks they are!! Yes,they are very interesting and could help people in several ailments,but…Many of those have serious contradictions and should be used in low quantities or not at all! Regarding pregnancy: it is adviced during the first trimester that pregnant women should avoid using ANY essential oil at all. After the first trimester only two or three essential oils could be used,and they should definitely be diluted in a carrier oil. Kudos for this video!!
Thank you
