If I’m on many different prescribed medications, how do I use the oils together with my medication? And do they interact? Also, how will I know when to start lowering my prescribed medication dosage?

If you are taking multiple prescribed medications, essential oils should be used with caution and as a supportive approach, not as a replacement for your treatment plan. Some essential oils may affect the body in ways that could interfere with medicines or irritate sensitive individuals, especially when taken internally. The safest approach is to choose oils based on the symptoms you want support for and discuss them with your doctor or pharmacist before using them regularly.

You should not lower your prescribed medication on your own. Changes to medication dosage should be made only with medical guidance, especially for conditions such as high blood pressure, depression, anxiety, IBS, eczema, or hormone-related issues. A healthcare professional can help you monitor your symptoms and decide whether any dosage changes are appropriate and safe.
