Most essential oils are not recommended for consumption...cold pressed are a bit different because they aren't quite as potent as those oils produced by steam distillation. So...the oil made in this post I would be comfortable consuming in small quanities. I hope that answers your question... Whether it is safe to consume essential oils is a heated topic and one that really needs its own post. Maybe one day I will be brave enough to post it! Haha. Thank you.
