Recently, a few clients came to me asking about the safety of tarragon essential oil. It appears there is much misinformation regarding the safety of this essential oil based on two key components, estragole and methyleugenol. Those not versed in essential oils often confuse studies on toxicity of single compounds found in them for safe, responsible use of essential oils that contain a symphony of synergistic compounds.
In my latest article, I dive into this concept and debunk the critic claims of “toxic tarragon oil.” Learn more and about its common uses here.

Disclaimer: This information is applicable ONLY for therapeutic quality essential oils. This information DOES NOT apply to essential oils that have not been tested for purity and standardized constituents. There is no quality control in the United States, and oils labeled as “100% pure” need only to contain 5% of the actual oil. The rest of the bottle can be filled with fillers and sometimes toxic ingredients that can irritate the skin. The studies are not based solely on a specific brand of an essential oil, unless stated. Please read the full study for more information.
