Frankincense, myrrh, jasmine, rose and benzoin should never be ingested. Most of the accidents concerning essential oils are the result of people ingesting them without consulting a professional. Many aromatherapists are opposed to taking essential oils internally.

It is not advisable to ingest any essential oils without first consulting a professional trained in the prescribing of essential oils for internal use. It is not something that mainstream aromatherapists are trained to do.

The essential oils used during massage are absorbed into the skin and enter the body effectively enough in this way without having to take them internally. It is far easier to control the rate of absorption in this way and far safer.

Always consult a professional aromatherapist before using essential oils in any way, as there are various safety considerations and reactions to consider. Any essential oils should be diluted before applying to the skin and the dilution should be around 3%.
