Can the cooling oil be taken directly orally?

We all know that mosquitoes can spread bacteria, especially in the southern region of our country. Because there is no winter here, mosquitoes appear all year round. And these mosquitoes are everywhere, causing great trouble to life. At this time, people will think of applying some cooling oil on their bodies, which not only makes the skin feel particularly refreshed, but also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. So, can the cooling oil be eaten?

Can cooling oil be consumed?

Cooling oil is an external medicine and is prohibited from being taken internally. Everyone must be clear about the usage of cooling oil. Apply it to the temples at the corners of the forehead, the Yintang acupoint between the eyebrows, or around the nostrils. Apply it to local injuries in case of insect bites, burns, and scalds. It should not be used if the skin lesions are ulcerated. It should not be used if the local skin becomes red or has a small rash after application, or if the itching becomes severe. It should not be used if there is a history of allergic reaction to the product in the past.

If the medicine is used improperly, some adverse reactions may occur. When using cooling oil, if there is obvious burning sensation, itching, local redness or swelling at the applied area, you should stop using the medicine, wash it off, and consult a doctor if necessary.

What is the “essence” of cooling oil?

The main ingredients of cooling oil are: menthol, peppermint oil, camphor, camphor oil, eucalyptus oil, clove oil, cinnamon oil, ammonia water, ozokerite, paraffin, and vaseline. Modern science has confirmed that these ingredients have anti-migraine, anti-depressant, anti-vomiting, anti-coma, excitatory and analgesic effects. The cooling oil also has the effects of refreshing the mind, cooling and relieving fever, and relieving pain and itching. The aromatic substances contained in them will specifically select beneficial substances to play a protective and analgesic and antipruritic role, playing a positive role in improving the pain and itching on the skin surface.

In short, cooling oil is made with various medicinal ingredients, and all medicinal ingredients have a certain degree of toxicity, so cooling oil cannot be consumed directly. I would also like to remind everyone that it is not enough to rely solely on cooling oil to repel mosquitoes. If you want to completely solve the problem of mosquito infestation, you need to keep your home clean and leave no dead corners.
