If it's to freshen the air in the bathroom, rather than to actually clean the loo, I think it would be better to use something like a diffuser (and just clean the loo as needed). There are plenty of instructions online for making reed diffusers cheaply yourself, using essential oils and vodka I believe.
If you put the oil directly into the toilet, you'll wash it away every time you flush it (possibly wasting it) and it will go into the sewers. Just because something is natural doesn't mean it's okay to flush it (and yes I know, a few drops a day is a tiny amount but if everybody did it...).
If you really want to use a plain drop of essential oil, you could drop it onto an old bottle lid or something.

Yes it's to deodorise after using the loo, rather than to clean it. (I just use ajax to clean it). I did wonder if essential oil would have some sort of detrimental effect on the pipes, etc.
V I Poo seems safe to use (but at £10 a bottle in Morrissons it's very pricey, so I don't buy it).
