No, I use straight mimosa EO for a number of things (none of them
medicinal); you can get it from Penn Herb. Nowhere near as good-
smelling as a mimosa perfume oil would be; in fact, it smells a good
deal like Desenex athlete's foot cream. :) Gardenia EO is out there
too Is either germicidal/preservative, do you know? (You did say
"all".)

As for the Eco quote: yes, most plants are safe to consume in the
right quantity. But the safe quantity of an essential oil is
frequently too small for a home user as opposed to a factory to
figure out a safe dilution. In other words, folks, don't start
randomly trying to flavor your food with EOs without reading up
on them first. Some of the safest-sounding can put a whuppin' on ya.
