Episode 37: The Smurfening

Welcome back to the conclusion of our series on Essential Oils! This week we learn about different health claims made by various essential oil companies including some companies that promise to help you lose weight by eating essential oils, and we delve into the rat-infested waters that are made up by predatory claims about using essential oils to treat or even "cure" ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder in children. Don't worry though - we also finish by telling you what to look for on the label when shopping for your own essential oils, best practices, and different trade unions and international organizations that you can use to verify whether your aromatherapist or essential oil product is safe, vetted, and not the result of a pyramid scheme.  If you loved this week's episode & want to hear more stuff like this & support the pod - join our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/thebarisanklehigh  To keep up with us during the week, make sure you're following us on Instagram, too!
