It's funny you separate chiropractors and essential oil salespeople.
Where I live that's typically who you're getting essential oils from, unless you buy them online.
I have no idea what chiropractors do outside of injuring people's joints and as far as I knew the essential oils was an online thing. Makes sense that the bullshit would overlap.
Yeah I didn't actually know about how bad chiropractors were until I started seeing one alongside my mother after she was recommended post car accident.
They were the whole nine yards of batshit. The woman claimed that instead of using hand sanitizer, soap, ibuprofen... a few other things I'm forgetting: she would use basil essential oil. Not only would she say this, she would prove it by only having hand sanitizer dispensers filled with this stuff alongside making shows of swallowing small shots.
Yes you are reading that correctly, she would not only utilize it for cleaning but would injest it regularly. Her claim was that it is anti-microbial (which is accurate, actually, many of these oils become anti-microbial) whilst talking about the benefits to your gut. Never once acknowledging that if it's anti-microbial due to the concentration then it's likely bad for some of the good stuff in your gut (disclaimer: I do not actually know. I used cinnamon essential oil for flavoring in my coffee, it actually worked pretty well but I wouldn't recommend it. Didn't make me sick or anything).
Chiropractors are especially unique in that some of them actually believe in the shit that they're peddling. She also made my arms tingle with the shit she did to my neck, 2/10 do not recommend unless you have perfect posture and want to pay someone to crack your back.
