Internal: Absolve is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate. Due to the potential skin irritating properties in Absolve, Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt feels the preferred mode of use is internally, ideally taken by capsule diluted in a suitable carrier oil. The daily oral limit of Absolve is 30 drops due to Cinnamon Bark.
We feel that internal use is rarely *needed* and should only be used with respect for how concentrated the oils are. HEO does not advocate internal use of essential oils without appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to administer, for what purpose, how much, which essential oils, safety concerns and so on. In our experience, essential oils are generally more effective used topically with proper dilution or inhaled. Kurt Schnaubelt Ph.D. notes that "French aromatherapy literature contains many references to using oils orally." He goes on to note that "generally 1 drop is always enough when ingesting essential oils." A potential toxicity hazard could occur when untrained people use essential oils orally and ingest too much. Keep in mind that while medical doctors or health care practitioners may prescribe essential oils for internal use, they are trained and experienced in the safe application of essential oils. It is not a matter of using "French" or "British" methods, it's a matter of experience and appropriate application. Medication/Health Issue?

3. I have loved using Absolve for both myself and my son, who has asthma. I feel that the oils interact differently from person to person. As I understand the benefits of both Plague Defense and Warrior, Absolve has been one of my favorites instead of those. For some reason it gives us a boost that we need to fight whatever is ailing us. It has been working wonders on my son's cough that is triggered by seasonal allergies and the common cold. - Amber
4. Recurring sore throat that comes on suddenly accompanied with extreme exhaustion with tender, swollen lymph nodes in the neck that leaves you with no energy and an overall awful feeling are definitely symptoms that you are struggling with something. Lymph massage is very helpful. Massage the oils on arms and legs toward the heart, stroking 10 times each, and keep moving rather than lying around (even though you feel ill). You can do the massage every two hours. For the best results, ask someone to do this for you. Increase water intake and eat some raw greens to get the detox moving. Absolve has been helpful for some. You would apply it to the upper back right below the neck in an area about a large as a grapefruit. The entire lymph system runs through this area, so it will be picked up and circulated throughout the body to assist with healing. Also, test your pH. There is a wealth of information online about getting the body alkaline. We try to eat something raw at every meal along with a large green salad to keep our pH balanced and avoid acidity (which is where disease thrives). - Lana (Health Care Professional) 5. We have been ordering from you for awhile and love your oils. Our son has Russell Silver Syndrome, so getting him to eat has been a challenge. He has also been diagnosed with periodic fevers. He was having fevers of 106-107. We ordered Absolve and have found that when he starts complaining of leg pain or his head hurting, we can apply Absolve (diluted in a roll-on applicator) on his back and neck, and within a short time, this will take the pain away and will help keep him from spiking a fever. In the event that he does spike a fever, we have seen his fever go from 106 to 99 within a matter of minutes after rolling Absolve on him. - Heather
6. My doctor recommended Absolve for my Lyme symptoms. Initially I took 2-3 diluted drops in a capsule orally morning and evening, and as symptoms improved, I took this once daily and alternated applying the blend to the bottoms of my feet. It's fantastic. BTW, my doctor tested your oils and recommended them to me over my YL oils. - Irene
Cinnamon Bark Topically: Cinnamon Bark has a high risk for skin irritation and sensitization. To avoid skin irritation/sensitization risk, Tisserand/Young suggest that the maximum dermal use level is 0.07%. This would be about a 1mL Absolve to 29mLs carrier.
