Before making a comment I took my time to read your disclaimer and even though you're correct with the given information of grapefruit essential oil, I have to make a couple of very important points as far as Cinnamon oil. 1) Many people may not know that there are 3 different types of Cinnamon Essential Oil; Cassia, Bark, and Leaf. Cinnamon Cassia has the lowest levels of dilution , 0.05%. It's pretty toxic to the liver. Cinnamon Bark also shares the same level of toxicity at some point with Cinnamon Cassia due to its lowest level of dilution, 0.1%. Cinnamon Leaf is the safest out of the 3 oils, with a level of dilution of 0.6 % 2) It is not recommended to drink any of this oils in water if proper information isn't provided. 3) Cinnamon oils, the 3 of them, are not recommended to be used by women if they're breastfeeding or pregnant. I personally do not use Cinnamon Cassia or Bark for a dermal application.
For the person who commented on taking essential oils internally, I strongly recommend reading The Healing Intelligence Of Essential Oils by Kurt Shnaubelt Ph D. In particular, page 62. What Dr. Axe and every other oil expert never seems to come out and tell you is that there are different grades of oil and some are better geared toward consumption than others. What you want are CLINICAL GRADE essentials. And yes, they are expensive. The book explains why almost all the popular oils on the market today can be called pure and therapeutic grade, but not REAllY pure in the sense that they NEED to be.
Dr. Axe. I have been using white essential grapefruit oil since June of this year. I have lost almost 30 pounds with a 1200-1500 calorie intake per day. I’m noticing a two pound lost after drinking it before bedtime. I do not drink it every night because I want a slow lost. This is amazing!I i have a lot more Wright to lose but am in the right track!
Love the Bible references and proclamations (not that this video has any); Glory to God! I believe God wants us to be healthy and functional for Him and His kingdom. God bless.
With Weight loss green store tea, I feel a big difference in both my body ( a steady 2-3 lbs a week loss) and mind. It tastes and smell wonderful. I am without a doubt a repeat purchaser from Weight loss green store!!
Ginger, i buy it fresh and boil it. Although im wondering if ginger raw is better, knowing ehen we cook foods it changes its form, i just learnd boiling lemons is actually better thn lemon water. Ive been through a crisis, and mentally im a wreck but i seriously believe to heal the mind you must heal the body first. This is so off topic but you did a video on d.e diatomaceous earth and this is about D15 for me taking two spoonfuls a day it gives me tons of energy and I don't know if it's in my head but if I don't take it I don't want to get out of bed. I'm hoping that I don't have to take the supplement for the rest of my life to feel normal. It's better than a cup of coffee LOL I love your videos and I just realized that you sell oils as well. I'm a newly single mom looking for work but once I get on my feet I'm going to purchase from your company because not only so I hear a good reviews but you also are very informative
Just to add, grapefruit oil shld not be used topically when u are out in the sun as it's Photosensitive. Just stay indoors if it's on ur skin.. any citrus oils for the matter.
I'm going to see if I can get improvement using these three oils for chronic gut inflammation. I was able to quit smoking 18 years ago by inhaling lemon oil vapor through my nose right over the top of the bottle when I wanted to smoke. It definitely killed the cravings, apparently for good.
If you are wanting to use essential oils internally, it's best to consult with a naturopath. Internal usage of essential oils can possibly cause damage to the lining of your gut. Just be careful.
Thank you, I've learned a lot about the benefits of different foods, herbs and oils etc. from your website!! Sometimes, it does not suggest how or how much or when we should take something. ie where should we apply these topically for maximum benefit?
I've been enjoying your teaching on essential oils, Dr. Axe. I'm considering buying singles or blends. I saw your video on the 5 essential oils and the one on frankincense. Should I buy several blends to take care of certain areas like stress, detox, etc.?
research cassia cinnamon vs. ceylon; all cinnamon is not created equal. So therefore, if ingested or consumed Ceylon is better, more expensive and hard to find. Ceylon cinnamon will not harm internal organs. Kidneys, liver etc.
Thank you Dr.Axel can we add drops of grapefruit, ginger, and cinammon essential oil into water and drink it? If so, how can we know if we are buying the right type of essential oil..thanks in advance
piping rock is where I get my oils. I've been using their brand for half a year and I can't live w/o my lavender oil. I order once a month. Reasonable prices and sale's weekly.🙌
I love this video! There is cinnamon leaf and bark? bark is very strong and can cause major skin irritations. I just did a big Essential oil company review on my channel. What brands do you like Doc?
the concentration in the essential oil has the benefits of a much higher quantity. Example I can think of... I believe a 5 ml bottle of lemon essential oil is the equivalent of about 75 lemons.
I take several prescriptions that say to avoid grapefruit. Also many essential oil providers do not give them the go ahead to be taken internally. I use a cinnamon oil that is not technically an essential oil and it is not as concentrated but it is made for internal consumption. Also be careful about diffusing if you have any dogs in the house. Yes essential oils can be very beneficial but do your research.
Hello Dr. Can these oils be used topically? Sometimes the citrus internally upsets the stomach not a good feeling. I think topically it's just as effective. Thanks
what is best diffuser and diffusion technique? I have now read that 15 min and at intervals is best. Also the Atomized oil is even better than ultrasonic...
I had thyroid cancer and no longer have a functioning thyroid - I am on levoxylthyroxine and was told by several doctors not to take grapefruit - counteracts medication - is this true ???
how to use grape fruit oil? can you please suggest me...i m using now lavender essential oil by blending with night cream and peppermint essential oil by blending with coconut oil. what other ways i can use to have better results?
Break down brown adipose tissue? But that is not what we want, do we? Since brown fat has a lot of mitochondria and actually uses a lot of energy to produce heat.
hi Dr Axe. I loved watching you and listening to your knowledge on the essential oils. I just want to ask about taking the Grapefruit oil with my medication. I would love to use these oils for my weight loss however I was told I should not take grapefruit juice as it is uncompatible with my Madropol ( Beta Blocker) so will I be able to use the Grapefruit oil to support the weight loss. cheers anne
Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. One thing is for sure; essential oils will NEVER have the devastating side effects of pharmaceuticals. Remember phen fen? Prescribed by actual MDs? Approved by the FDA? All you freakin medical nannies SHUT UP! If you disagree don't follow his advice. Leave the rest of us alone, we are capable of making our own decisions!
Phe Fen was fantastic. Sadly morons thought : "Wow I am using as directed and I feel great and am losing weight. I bet if I ABUSE this product by taking it more then suggested and at higher doses I will lose Twice the weight Twice as fast!!!" - then they had Kidney and Liver issues. Imagine that. Guess what? If you Abuse Aspirin, you could die. Even Childrens Aspirin can cause death if abused. However, The Big Pharma CIA pays me to say this on TH-cam so . . .
Hi I just get the package of slim and Sassy ( slim and sassy oil, grapefruit)and I just wondering how to use it my sister tell me how kind the use it but I didn't really understand. I also get the vitality pack so if you can give me instruction I will be grateful. I want to lose weight. thanks
+Iris Cabello take it with food. especially when you eat carbs!!! if you got the gel cap form, then just take 1 pill. Never 2...that's too much EO to ingest at 1 time. If you got the 15mL bottle of oil, call customer service or chat online with them and ask how many drops are in the gel cap, put that many in an empty capsule and take with your meals. ( I actually think I know how many drops it is, but just in case I'm wrong, I want you to check) Or you can just put 1 drop in 4 oz of water and drink with your meal. I use 2 drops in 8 oz. Make sure you use a GLASS container to hold your water because the citrus oils in it will eat at the plastic and you will ingest those dangerous chemicals. DO NOT US A PLASTIC STRAW. Shop online and get some stainless steel straws. This will allow you to stir your oils into the water before each sip so they don't just float on top. Hope that is helpful....you can email me at somekindofoil@gmail.com if you have anymore questions. I'd be happy to talk with your sister to make sure she is using them correctly. Here is a great place to start learning about safety with your doterra essential oils! doterrascienceblog.com/category/safety-and-physiology/
Hey Dr. Axe! Quick question :) So most of the essential oils sold at the stores state 'do not use internally'. You said we can use them by adding a drop of each in water and drink it. Is it still safe to do so even if it says not to? I think somewhere on your website you said, most of the essential oils are ok to consume?
thats why you have to get only pure 100% oils,one way to know wich ones are those,#1 they come in brown glass bottles,#2 the bottle need to have listed the ingredients,the name of the oil (lavender) and the scientific name (lavandula),and #3 the price pure essential oils are not cheap one little bottle like the one he is holding in the video costs about 10 dollars may vary by locations!! do some research febore you do somethin you may have an allergic reaction or overdose if dont use it properly good luck 😉
SulstarSulwana Doterra sells good quality oils that are ok to ingest. I take some daily and have had no problems. I can connect you to get some if you want.
Not all essential oils are safe for consumption. Fun Fact: A quick way to tell if an oil is for internal use is to check the bottle for a Supplemental Facts listing. If that is there then you are okay to ingest the oil and if the facts listing ISN’T there, do not ingest the oil. Make sense?
I am wanting to start using Essential Oils, however when I have smelled them in the stores they smell so medicinal. Is this the case once mixed with a carrier oil? Is there a better oil to use than others?
SheWhoWalksAlone Usually the oils in the stores have additives to "enhance" the smell. I use doTerra oils & LOVE the aroma. They have helped me with a number of health concerns & I have been able eliminate some medications & avoid starting other medications. Let me know if you have any questions.
It's so confusing. I get mine from Etsy, and it says on the label it's Ther. grade oil. But then it says to use it externally- every brand I've gotten says that. I gave them the oil stain test and they seemed like they weren't 'watered down'. I don't know. haha!
That's a great question. I always look for essential oils that are USDA Certified Organic, Therapeutic grade. Learn more about essential oil safety here: draxe.com/essential-oils/essential-oils-guide/?.
+M Gracer No oils are derived from the skin or outer layer of the grapefruit Not the acidic part of the fruit. Ask your DR to make sure if youre concerned. Your goal is to become more alkaline in general .. Hope that helps
Hey Idalina! If you are taking any medications it's always best to talk to your doctor before making any changes to your diet or supplement routine. You may find this article helpful: draxe.com/health/heart-health/natural-ways-to-lower-blood-pressure/?.
Young Living, because of the purity and because they are therapeutic grade. Here is a link to discounted oils and diffuser b/c they come in a set: www.youngliving.com/vo/#/signup/new-start?sponsorid=3868156&enrollerid=3868156&isocountrycode=US&culture=en-US&type=member
But brown fat is "good fat". It will actually make heat and therefore use energy. You need your body to be heated internally and since it will use energy therefore it can help you lose the white fat. So you really should be wanting to promote the brown fat and "combat" the white fat, not the other way around. I would link the webmd page, but for some reason it wont let me paste anything into the comment box atm.

Thanks for information. I'm reading book now.
What brand offers clinical grade. I've looked everywhere online and all I see is therapeutic at best. Tyia!
Dr. Axe. I have been using white essential grapefruit oil since June of this year. I have lost almost 30 pounds with a 1200-1500 calorie intake per day. I’m noticing a two pound lost after drinking it before bedtime. I do not drink it every night because I want a slow lost. This is amazing!I i have a lot more Wright to lose but am in the right track!
That's awesome I really want to see if this works for me what brand do you use & how many drops
@@tweetshortcakez9457 interesting how you don’t get a reply asking how to use it. So frustrating.
Love the Bible references and proclamations (not that this video has any); Glory to God! I believe God wants us to be healthy and functional for Him and His kingdom. God bless.

You need to use only quality pure certified therapeutic oils to ingest . The cheaper oils may contain synthetics
Hi Dr Axe: thanks for your guidance. When using these oils do they have to be food grade? Thanks so much
This video is really great, essential oils are a great way to relax and can be used for so much. xx
They have stopped my dogs seizures. They are amazing and they work.

You can consume some, if they are pure and fda approved. Also, if they are safe to consume, they will have the supplemental label on it.
Doterra oiks are approved and able to be ingested either by drops under the toungue or in gel caps. Let me kbiwbif you have questions!
It's so confusing. I get mine from Etsy, and it says on the label it's Ther. grade oil. But then it says to use it externally- every brand I've gotten says that. I gave them the oil stain test and they seemed like they weren't 'watered down'. I don't know. haha!
could I use it on my nose?
Dr. Axe, do these oil have carbohydrates?
Is cinnamon bark the same as cinnamon?
Can you use them if you have Hashimotos?
where can I find your essential oils book and how to take or use
You said something about grapefruit oil breaking down brown fat. Isn't brown fat a good thing (google)? Why would you want to break it down?
all the essentials that i have so far are recommended for external use only. which brand to use in case of consumption?
That's a great question. I always look for essential oils that are USDA Certified Organic, Therapeutic grade. Learn more about essential oil safety here: draxe.com/essential-oils/essential-oils-guide/?.

Is it okay to put in a steam room?
if you take pills that say no grapefruit can i use the essential oils. allergic to cinnamon.
