I always wonder "what do these people think their quack bullshit does?" And have to remind myself that the whole the world consistents of physical processes and phenomena interacting with each other in predictable, observable ways" thing isn't actually a universal belief.
What if that same thing, but instead of having to read a textbook about chemistry I could pretend it's the magical systems from my favourite cartoons? Then I could just watch cartoons and feel as smart as a doctor.
She died on that Florida parking lot but she smelled great!
Also yes, she is using this to sell a pyramid scheme. You too can be a holistic paramedic if you join DoTerra: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiMLM/comments/1acmp5u/doterra_hun_thinks_shes_a_hero/

Wonder how much of the hype about essential oils can be attributed to the conflation of "essential"-- essence of-- with "essential"-- necessary, important.
Like this essential oil is the essence of mint. It's not particularly essential or useful or anything.
It's incredibly silly because they're literally just for perfumes, even since forever ago, the main reason people used these oils was for smelling nice.
Well some are legitimately psychoactive like lavender oil
Of course this is at Disney World. I love that she's prepared with oils like a fucking Witcher, though I'm guessing there's more nuance to what a witcher uses in different occasions. Also concerned that smelly oils are getting in those cuts. Great work all around
She's prepared with oils and the situation is so desperate that she throws bruise oil to her husband before saving her own child from the horror of a minor fall. Mickey Mouse and the police stood there clapping and demanding their own DoTerra business where they can be their own boss.
though I'm guessing there's more nuance to what a witcher uses in different occasions.
In the books they don't even use oils (and barely ever use potions or signs, for that matter) most of their gimmick is just being good at the witchcraft known as stabbing a mfer with a sword.
help i fell down and now some strange man is oiling me
This is basically the new testament

Always bums me out because I like essential oils, just because they smell good. I feel weird having them though, multiple occasions of friends letting me know "you know those don't really work right?" And me being confused momentarily trying to figure out what they could possibly mean (it's like saying a candle doesn't work in my brain) until remembering a fuck load of people think it's medicine.
I like essential oils, just because they smell good.
Funnily enough that's their main purpose throughout history, and while people always gave some medicinal properties attached to it (probably because before industrialization it would take even more work to extract the stuff), it's always been used for perfumes.
I can forgive a medieval peasant who believes in miasma theory for thinking that the smelly grease is healing. Idk what excuse these weirdos will come up with tho
People add some mystical nonsense to them. At the end of the day, all they really do is produce smells that can produce psychosomatic effects. That doesn't mean they're not useful, I just wouldn't oil myself up for cancer and shit.
also why I frequent healing crystal stores because the good ones have some cool looking or geologically interesting rocks, then it's 50/50 if it's a reasonable price or a $200 spray painted quartz crystal lol. although the real shame is when all the rocks are rounded and polished because that gets rid of half the mineralogy
i too love to smell farts
Y'all might laugh but some of us have an MP deficiency and need regular oiling, sometimes mid battle
"He did attempt to give one of the injured some water, but otherwise he was just placing crystals around the bodies."
Why is God blocked out twice?
Because god didn't save that woman. Essential oils did.
I need 50 cc's of frankincense oil STAT
I tossed my husband a coffee enema out of my medkit and screamed, "fill her up good, baby." She looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said "thank you sir for saving my life" as the coffee did its job.

HELP! HELP! THIS ELDERLY LADY HAS FALLEN OVER! DOES ANYBODY HAVE SOME GINSENG?? SHE'S SPIRITUALLY FLATLINING! OH GOD! WE NEED THE FRANKINCENSE NOW OR SHE'S NOT GOING! TO MAKE IT! SOMEBODY PREP THE PADDLES. YES, I MEAN THE AMETHYST PADDLES!
For the longest time, I thought frankincense was a Halloween-themed product made by like, Bath & Bodyworks or something. It was very confusing hearing Serious people get religious about it.
I only know it from Catholic Christmas mass when the clergy put it in a little brazier and swing it around the aisles. It smells really nice alongside the myrrh, like a campfire in a conifer forest.
In Spanish it's just called "incienso" aka "incense". I figured it'd be the same in English but it isn't. I liked when the guy swung around the censer too. One of the only times I paid attention in church.
