Recommendations of doctors
Despite the fact that they often use amber oil at home on their own, you still need to listen to the advice and opinions of medical specialists.

This can cause severe burns to the esophagus and other internal organs, which can lead to serious health problems.
Therefore, amber oil can only be used externally (and even then - in a diluted form). And internal use involves the use of only oil derivatives.
