"Certain essential oils are proven immune boosters. We sleep better thanks to essential oils, and as you no doubt know, sleep is an integral component to good health. We soothe minor cuts and scrapes with essential oils. After switching to as many all natural, essential oil based products as possible, we’re quite sure that our exposure to potentially harmful (and immune damaging?) chemicals has been reduced.
The best thing about making alternative household products yourself with essential oils is that you at least know exactly what’s in them. If you look at the ingredient list for even a bottle of simple shampoo, there might be dozens of ingredients with names that you could hardly pronounce—whereas with DIY products, there might be five ingredients, all of which you know are safe for your body, your children, your pets, etc."
Yeah, what a bunch of bullshit.

Here's one from the NIH on the use of essential oils to fight infections: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5435909/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5435909/ By the way, the blogger is a PhD in biochemistry. You're not going to win a science battle with her.
- atomical 8y ago> I can cite studies too. Please post a meta analysis from the Cochrane Collab. That's a source that doctors use. > By the way, the blogger is a PhD in biochemistry. You're not going to win a science battle with her. Arguments stand on merits. There are plenty of professionals in their respective fields that advocate pseudoscience.
