AIA does not endorse internal therapeutic use (oral, vaginal or rectal) of essential oils unless recommended by a health care practitioner trained at an appropriate clinical level.

Hello,
I am a clinical level graduate of the WCIA program and I am working on two courses from the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy I am very interested in exploring some internal therapeautic possibilites of unadulterated oils
I have received training in chemistry, formulation guidelines and safety issues. I have also earned a massage therapist license which included anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and pathology.
However as I understand it, a specific diagnosis is outside the scope of practice for aromatherapy. Would diagnostics infer a diagnosis or an educated evaluation of how best to support bodily systems that might be under duress?
Thanks. I appreciate your attention.
Diane
Diane,

So even the oils that have the FDA’s Dietary Nutrition label on them should not be taken internally?
