Ive ingested tea tre oil before. I believe its safe as long as its deluted and as long as you are using a high grade oil. I wouldn't use a cheap unknown brand or anything sold at Dollar Tree or Walmart, places like that. I've poured Melaleuca oil down my throat before and although it burned, it never gave me any other side effects that they list. However, use at your own discretion. I use a lot of alternative healing remedies and I am healthy and only take one prescription for asthma. I have deluted it tea as well. The Aborigines have been using it for centuries. "It’s been well documented that the Bundjalung Aborigines in eastern Australia have used tea trees to treat ailments including coughs, colds, and sore throats by inhaling the smell from the crushed leaves, and drinking an infusion of Melaleuca tea." https://www.youngliving.com/en_EU/discover/history-of-essential-oils/history-of-tea-tree#:~:text=Australian%20Aboriginal%20Uses%20for%20Tea%20Trees,-Aboriginal%20Australians%2C%20indigenous&text=They%20would%20use%20tea%20trees,cover%20it%20with%20warm%20mudpack.

Some of the people's recommendations are VERY DANGEROUS. Contact your nearest Land Grant University Extension professional (usually called Extension Agents, Extension Educators, or Speciailists) for information or check out: http://www.foodsafety.gov/poisoning/causes/bacteriaviruses/botulism.html herb infused oils can promote botulism growth because the oil coating of the herb can create an anaerobic (without oxygen) environment Here is a link that might be useful: USDA Food Safety

You will find a lot of recipes here, but you have to register to be able to read the forum. Most of the people who post here use Essential Oils; I use fragrance oils. I still enjoy reading this forum, as it covers all kinds of soap and bath and beauty projects. Susan Here is a link that might be useful: Bath and Beauty Forum
