Among the single oils doTERRA offers currently, 37 are safe for internal use. Using the oils for internal purposes means that you go beyond putting them on your skin to ingest them for their specific benefits to various organs or cells. There are several ways to take oils internally; you can cook with the oils, take them in beverages, or put them in a veggie capsule to swallow.
I personally take them internally every day. In the morning I take Digestzen, DDR Prime, Frankincense, and Turmeric. At night I take the same thing, except I switch out the Frankincense for Copaiba. And, of course, I drink Lemon in my water all the time. Great way to detox while getting your daily water requirement.

To Dilute or Not Dilute... that is the question.

Is neat (undiluted) application more effective?

Carrier oils, such as Fractionated Coconut Oil, help trap volatile compounds which minimizes evaporation and enhances penetration through the skin.

Large molecule carrier oils (argan oil, rose-hip oil, jojoba oil, ...) are greasy and do not absorb well. They are used to provide a layer of protection on your skin.

Small molecules, like water, absorb too quickly and do not protect/trap essential oil volatiles.

Medium-chain triglycerides of Fractionated Coconut Oil absorb well and protect essential oil volatiles from evaporating.

Topical application is great, especially using massage. It stimulates the dilution of blood vessels resulting in improved skin absorption of volatile compounds.
