If you desire to ingest the oils we suggest using them only under the supervision of a certified aromatherapist and/or physician. Sweet Orange has shown benefits with calming the digestive tract and so if you do choose to ingest essential oils, the safest way recommended by trained aromatherapists is by creating a capsule by combining 1 drop of essential oil and topping the veggie capsule off with an edible carrier oil such as olive oil. Always take extreme caution when ingesting essential oils since essential oils are extremely concentrated and can cause burns on the esophagus and ulcerative conditions in the digestive tract.

Sweet Orange essential oil is not phototoxic even though it is cold pressed. This is due to its lack of fourocoumarins found in other oils such as Bergamot, Grapefruit and Lemon.
