Today the website "EssentialInfo.weebly.com" launched to address concerns related to potential side effects of essential oil ingestion and misuse.
The site features a collection of information gathered from the Facebook page "300 Strong Against Essential Oil Ingestion", a group of practitioners, aromatherapists, institutions, publications, and citizens concerned with educating the public on the potential side effects of undiluted essential oil ingestion. The group also addresses essential oil information they feel is inaccurate and unsafe, including overuse and misuse of essential oils that could lead to potentially serious side effects.
The motivation for essentialinfo.weebly.com can be found on their homepage, which states,
"The aim of this page is to simply promote the fact that undiluted essential oil ingestion is not without the risk of potential side effects. It's a gentle, simple conclusion and one that's proven by mounds of documented cases and research. It's nothing earth shattering, just a simple stand against an unsafe practice - namely eating essential oils straight from the bottle (and ideally, not ingesting at all unless under professional care)."
The website includes a "Library" page of reliable resources for personal research, an "FAQ"'s page to address common questions essential oil users typically have, "Supplier Ratings" which offers a list of responsible, reliable suppliers, a "Propaganda" page that calls out questionable and unsafe use recommendations, an "Advocacy" page for addressing this issue in person, and a "News" page discussing related current events.
The website is owned and operated by Lee Tea, an herbalist and writer of nature-based articles at leetea.hubpages.com.
