The essential oils available online on terzaluna.com are classified as food supplements. This attests to their excellent quality. They are naturally extracted essential oils, without the use of any solvent, but only through natural methods such as pressing, percolation, or steam distillation. Third Moon essential oils can also be used orally, but you must be careful about the quantities ingested. Never exceed two daily drops. This is because an essential oil is a very potent concentrate that if taken in quantities greater than two drops a day can be hepatotoxic.
