Anything that imputes healing powers to essential oils. I get that aromatherapy is a thing and some oils contain chemicals that eg help you feel more relaxed when you inhale the scent, but they don't cure illnesses or actual medical problems of any kind.

Yeah, pretty much. I mean, some have anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties, but 99.99% of the time a tube of neosporin does a way better job with lots less chance of accidental poisoning. Which is how I feel about most alternative medicine. There’s some truth in some stuff, but mostly it’s a way to rip people off that might actually make whatever’s wrong worse.

Add in that a couple of the most prominent essential oil companies are pyramid schemes associated with evangelicals (and wasn’t that a trip, realizing this far-left hippie fringe thing was popular with the “Jesus loves fetuses” crowd), and yeah, not impressed.

But at least it’s not homeopathy. Fuck that bullshit.

I agree. I swear by eucalyptus oil in my bath. But that's entirely for relaxation purposes. It clears my sinuses and just generally makes me feel relaxed. Doesn't mean it has magical healing powers. It is about the same as using a cough drop.
