REALLY?

REALLY?!!

Can everybody please STOP with this bullshit?!

[deerhoofandrabbitsfoot-deactiva]

You know, while we’re on the subject, I met with a good friend a little while back for coffee. She told me that she and her husband had purchased essential oils for weight loss. She had been instructed by a salesperson to put a few drops of essential oils (I want to say they were grapefruit and mint) in a large container of water and to drink this several times a day.

She did lose weight. In some regard, this was effective. But she lost the weight because she felt too physically ill to eat. She reported feeling nauseated and lethargic all the time. She reported vomiting after most meals. I sat in the coffee shop and pulled up website after website, explaining why consuming essential oils is dangerous and why essential oil sales reps should not be trusted. Because the essential oils actually did make her lose weight, she was reluctant to stop, but being a sensible person, she did agree to stop consuming them. And she’s not a stupid person. She and her husband are both well-off, college-educated people.

Long story short, this shit is evil. It prays on people’s insecurities. I would say it’s modern snakeoil, but I think it’s actually worse. To the best of my knowledge, snakeoil was not a MLM scheme.

DO NOT CONSUME ESSENTIAL OILS!!!

These are for aromatherapy only, and they're not going to cure your ailments! At most they can help you relax (lavender and camomile) or help with symptoms like congestion or nausea (peppermint). And that's if you USE THEM PROPERLY AND DON'T EAT IT DUMBASS. Get a defuser god damn. And while they can help with cold symptoms, they can't cure your cold. Take some nyquil or drink lots of orange juice or something.

ESSENTIAL OILS ARE FOR LIKE, PUTTING IN A FUCKING HUMIDIFIER AND GENTLY WAFTING TOWARDS YOUR FACE

EXTRACTS ARE THE ONES YOU EAT

DO NOT PUT ESSENTIAL OILS ON THE INSIDE OF YOUR BODY

THIS HAS BEEN AN ALL CAPS RECAP

YOU FUCKEN NUMPTIES

[metoo-3]

Important because I saw someone substitute essential oil for peppermint extract in some “healthy” cookies on Instagram

[thecaroliner]

All of this, but also keep in mind both doTerra and Young Living are pyramid schemes so if you do want to use oils (safely) please do not purchase from them

[magicalperiwinkleelephants]

Essential oils are fragrances and nothing more. There is no conclusive sciencific evidence for essential oils having medicinal uses. Any "evidence" in favor of essential oils is purely anecdotal. Trying to use personal testimonies to justify creating a product that could harm someone is unreasonable.

It's really sick to see corporations and MLMs take advantage of individuals. Essential oils are ponzi scheme, and I hate seeing them marketed as a cure all to those who, understandably, don't know different.

[thecaroliner]

Peppermint oil is pretty much the only essential oil that’s actually worked like they say it will for me. It does ease headaches (only a bit - I still need aleve to knock them out completely) and it helps with nausea. Other than that I really don’t see other oils as anything other than fragrances

[hailqiqi]

Lavender's good for sleep, eucalyptus and tea tree are good for congestion, tea tree is good at killing bugs and shit. Citrus oils bleach your skin (which yeah, some people want).

But that's all old, standard knowledge. It's not some new scientific discovery and eucalyptus oil is not better than an antihistimine.

[teaboot]

Some rando: You should think about stopping your prescription

Me: My pills make me not want to die tho

They: You shouldn’t want to die, that’s not normal

Me: Yeah that’s why I’m taking my pills

[teaboot]

Again: But you aren’t the *real* you when you’re on your pills

Me: I’m the alive version of me

[teaboot]

An actual doctor, once: “Relying On A Chemical Crutch For A Hormonal Imbalance Denies The Fortitude Of The Human Soul”

Me: Cool so like I’m agnostic

[inner-muse]

They: “But you might be on pills the rest of your life!”

Me: “So?”

[illnessisnteasy]

Good! That means that I have a “rest of” my life to continue living!

Thanks to the pills.

i want bi women in lgbt spaces.

yes, even the ones with boyfriends. yes, even the ones who’ve never been with a woman.

yes, i’d love to hear them gush about their boyfriends! i want them to be able to talk freely and feel safe!! even if i can’t relate i want to support my sisters!!!!

excluding bis because you don’t want “het” relationships in your spaces just isolates them and puts them at risk for abuse!!!!

they deserve support and resources and acceptance no matter what.

bisexual women belong in lgbt spaces!!!

If You Believe That There Is Absolutely Nothing Shameful Or Wrong About Being Gay-

REBLOG THIS.

I want to see how tolerant and open-minded our generation really is. 

And prove to my little brother, who is AFRAID that he might be gay, that there’s nothing wrong with him if he is.

[cinnabron]

Don’t be afraid lil bro being gay is super fun and the flag is awesome

[pixie-skull]

I understand the media may make it sound being any LGBTQ+ way can be scary, yet we are a community and we can be there for each other more than expected. ^_^
