I see this on Social Media, on the ads they all allow, and I am totally appalled by the lack of correct information and false hope given to people who use essential oils.
The companies claim it will make you lose weight, support brain and heart functions, turn you from 100 yrs old back to being 20 years old detox the body and the worst will cure cancer...
They will put in 20 different essential oils into one blend and say this is the miracle cure. There are no way 20 different essential oils all blended together in a 10ml bottle can do this. Each plant has a different purpose and when mixing too many of them together can wind up getting one quite sick than one quite better.
One company calls their product “Immune Harmony Essential Oils”. They claim it is a blend of therapeutic grade (don’t get me started on this term, it is only a marketing tool- all essential oils are therapeutic) that supports the immune system, sinuses, tonsils, glands, spleen, kidneys and bladder and viruses. They even tell you it will fight Covid without saying the word, they DANCE around the word because they do not want to be hit by the FDA, but they sure make it clear it kills this too. UM, wrong!!
The best one yet is it gets rid of toxins in the body. Essential Oils do not detox the body at all.
Now" Harmony" is a real trip. It has 11 essential oils in it.
Black Cumin Essential Oil is an essential oil but could be also a carrier oil and there is no segregation made. mislead info.
Frankincense- don’t get me started on this one –which frankincense? There are 18 species of frankincense you cannot just say “frankincense”, they claim it. They claim it helps with hormones, no it does not, then add Orange and Tangerine, both similar plants why put both of them in it, then add lavender, Rose Otto (btw rose is very expensive) and Ylang Ylang, not too bad they are calming oils, now the best, Tea Tree and Cinnamon Bark how much? Cinnamon Bark is a very hot oil and should not be used by those who are on blood thinners. Now add Blue Tansey which they claim can detox the liver and lymph system, NO NO NO-
I said essential oils do not detox the body.
Wait there is more in this blend, Petigrain, Howood and Jasmine.
They claim it supports the system during the flu season, counters the negative effects of viruses, bacteria, parasites, mold, mildew, and other invaders. And it saves the world! Um not!
And here is the best part, they tell you can ingest it. The only thing it is going to support is destroying your liver, esophagus and gawd knows what it is going to do to your stomach.
Essential oils should not be ingested unless you are under a healthcare professional trained in essential oil ingesting and are certified in aromatherapy. It is not advised to ingest oils any other way. You need to know what you are doing. These oils are so highly concentrated. The problem is most people do not understand this fact. Highly concentrated means there are pounds and pounds of plant material to make one small bottle of essential oil. Would you put all this in your mouth every day especially if you do not understand how to use them and only this company who is looking out for themselves not your health?
This is just one company but there are many out there that give false claims and false hopes.
The only way to make sure you do not fall into this trap is to get educated in how these oils work and how to use them. Take some classes at reputable schools that teach safe essential oil usage. Do not be swayed by one company’s explanation of a miracle drug. Most of these kinds of companies that preach it will “cure all” are only out to make money and they really do not care about you at all.
DO THE RESEARCH- GET EDUCATED!
