      Wait, are essential oils supposed to be anything more than fragrances you stick in a humidifier thing?

        Essential oils were invented in the East. As an Indian, I can tell you we use them as scent by rubbing it usually near the ear/neck. Today I got to know these weird western women mix it in foods and eat it.

      They are just allergic reactions waiting to happen.

      Tea tree oil was the only one I think to actually have merit, but I imagine we’ve been able to reproduce the beneficial part of in a lab. (with minimal risk of triggering allergies)

        Some also do have specific use cases where they work really well, like Tea Tree Oil for acne and nail fungus or Peppermint oil for nausea. Most of them don’t do anything though.

            I think it’s straight up a me thing, I find most perfume overpowering etc, Have def been around all forms of oil diffusers etc, always to the same result, I wish I enjoyed them, everyone seems to like them so much.
