acquaintances who are inclined to this alternative stuff are falling prey to an essential oils pyramid scheme
and it's not the oils that are bullshit, oils are great for some ailments. i use one essential oil myself, it works very well and i can get it everywhere without joining a club.
it's the fucking obvious pyramid scheme utilizing recruiting techniques of cults. these people talk about the oils of one manufacturer like if they were imbued with the holy spirit or something.
