Be careful if you have digestive tract issues such as IBS or Colitis. I took this just one time, a few drops in water, and it caused my IBS to flare up and made me sick, so obviously I won't be ingesting this anymore. I don't mind the smell, so I might diffuse it, but I doubt that will have any weight loss effect.

I think I have had good success using this for athletic foot type inches or even jock itch. it has been a better solution then the spray on solutions, just rub on before bathing about 2 minutes and rinse off, and it seems to really sooth the surface and reduces the itch quickly.
