Carrot Seed essential oil is believed by some to provide protection from the sun, and is felt to help a person tan while avoiding burn, but Robert Tisserand states in his Skin Care series that there is no evidence that Carrot Seed essential oil provides any protection as a sunscreen.

Aromatherapy Literature Notes
Kurt Schnaubelt, Ph.D wrote in The Healing Intelligence of Essential Oils (p. 133) that 1 drop in a glass of water can be taken sporadically or as part of a program of liver regeneration.

Carrot Museum: Carrot Seed Essential Oil

Application Suggestions (See Essential Oil Usage for more information and a Dilution Chart.)
Topical: Dilute with a carrier oil, unscented lotion or unscented cream and apply on area of concern or as desired. Consider using a roll-on applicator for ease of application of prediluted oil.

Since Carrot Seed does not have a limiting dilution parameter, we suggest that adults follow the General Guidelines found on the Dilution Chart, which is:

2-3% for daily application

Up to 25% for short-term use

Children: For infants and children, please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page.

Inhalation: Diffuse

Internal: Carrot Seed oil is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate. 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 aromatherapy" or "British" methods, it's a matter of experience and appropriate application. Click here for information about internal usage.

Schnaubelt notes that 1-3 drops of Carrot Seed essential oil can be taken sporadically or as part of a program of liver regeneration.
Dilute with one drop Carrot Seed oil in 1 tsp. honey or 4 oz beverage.

I have so many things that I want to tell you!!! AMAZING THINGS!!! My husband got a serious internal infection on his foot...one that I imagine would have put him in the hospital had we not tried the Carrot Seed oil. I had read on the website that it was good for sepsis and for all different kinds of things...so I started applying it to his foot, covered it with a sock and then later soaked his foot in warm water to which epsom's salt had been added and then reapplied the Carrot Seed oil. The Carrot Seed oil brought all of this white infection looking stuff to right below the surface of the skin. I continued to do the above, and PRAISE THE LORD!!! He was able to stand and preach on Sunday Morning!!! He could hardly walk before!!!! We think this is some type of internal infection like some other people have had in our area and had to be hospitalized with for nearly a month on the strongest antibiotic available!!! We could be wrong about that, but it developed from within his body as theirs did...there was no trauma to the area, no bite, no puncture wound at all!!! He is taking his Carrot Seed oil orally regularly in a cup of clean water. - N.P.

Safety
Tisserand/Young note that Carrot Seed oil may interfere with gestation: "On the basis of Chinese research, we advise avoidance of carrot seed oil during pregnancy. However the quantities of essential oil used were very high, and an NOAEL for reproductive toxicity may yet be established."

Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat— like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. Tisserand suggests: "With essential oils, fatty oil has been suggested as an appropriate first aid treatment, though the advantage of saline [eyewash] is that the eyes can be continually flushed, and this is less easy with fatty oil.” We are not aware of a case where essential oil in the eyes caused permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your health care provider.
