Here’s what consumers have asked with answers from JadeBloom staff and previous consumers.
Yes you can take Lemon Oil internally.
Major botanical and scientific references currently identify two species of frankincense, Boswellia carterii and Boswellia sacra, as being synonymous. We evaluated the Somalian (B. Carterii) and Omani/Yemeni (B. Sacra) species by chemical analyses to determine if there were any minor or major differences between the two species of frankincense. Components identified with their average percent for B. Sacra are α-thujene (0.6%), α-pinene (68.2%), camphene (2.1%), sabinene (2.9%), β-pinene (2.0%), myrcene (0.7%), limonene+β-phellandrene (6.2%). Components identified with their average percent for B. Carterii are α-thujene (7.9%), α-pinene (37.3%), camphene (0.8%), sabinene (4.9%), β-pinene (1.8%), myrcene (7.3%), limonene+β-phellandrene (14.4%). Initially, GC-MS analysis did not reveal major statistical differences. However, optical rotation values, B. Sacra (+30.1°) and B. Carterii (-13.3°), demonstrated a greater significant difference. Enantiomeric ratio (+)/(-) values of α-pinene for B. Sacra and B. Carterii are 8.24 and 0.68, respectively, were also calculated aiding our conclusion that B. Sacra and B. Carterii are not synonymous but rather two distinct and individual frankincense species.
I've been using many Jade Bloom Oils for months now internally as do all of my friends and family that also use them. I know the company's official position is that if you choose to ingest oils then there is not a higher quality or safer oil for you to ingest if you follow the dilution recommendations in their uses guide. I hope that helps.
