Essential oils, vaccines [View all]
I get a flu shot every year and make sure my kids get them too. I also like essential oils, but I don't think they're medicine. I just like how they smell, and the odor makes me feel better in the same way listening to certain music can make me feel better.
But I had an anti-vax friend ask why I have any interest in essential oils when I vaccinate my kids and get the flu vaccine every year. I had never thought of them as being incompatible. I use science, and then i use feel-good stuff, but I don't confuse the feel-good stuff with science. Any effect essential oils have on viruses would have to be pretty small, if there's any effect at all. I've heard some essential oils work at least a bit as antibiotics, but I don't know how anti-viral they are.
Are essential oils and aromatherapy on the same level as anti-vaxxing?
