Overview
•Essential oils like cinnamon and oregano may cause gastrointestinal upset or skin irritation if not properly diluted; softgel form reduces direct mucosal contact but monitor for nausea.
•Potential interactions with blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin) due to clove and cinnamon oils' anticoagulant properties; consult physician if on anticoagulants.
•Dosages in softgels (1-2 daily) align with safe aromatic use but exceed typical topical limits; avoid exceeding recommended intake to prevent liver strain from high eugenol/clove content.
•Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women due to limited safety data on concentrated essential oils like oregano and thyme; contraindicated in children under 6.
•Allergen risks low but includes potential for sensitivity to tree nut-derived fractionated coconut oil; those with citrus allergies may react to wild orange.
•Long-term use should be cycled (e.g., 3 weeks on, 1 week off) to avoid cumulative effects on liver enzymes from phenolic compounds in the blend.
