Are Essential Oils Safe To Use Indoors?

Watch to hear Dr. Jill’s rationale for using essential oils in indoor spaces, based on scientific research.

Hi, Dr. Jill Crista here.

Here to clear the record about essential oils.

Some people are being told by remediation companies that they can’t use essential oils because they will increase the amount of mycotoxins in the air. That’s not found to be true with the essential oils in my book. My favorite being thyme or thymol. 

Yes, it’s true essential oils do contain aldehydes and mold does spit out aldehydes. So for some people, they’re too chemically sensitive to tolerate essential oils. 

But you can use ‘em in the environment for cleaning up. Because thymol or thyme essential oil has been shown to actually not only stop the growth of penicillium verrucosum, which make ochratoxin. But actually 100% inhibit its ability to make ochratoxin. 

So I’m a big fan of essential oils if my patients can tolerate it.

Break the mold, take back your health.
