I don't hate essential oils. I used to wear some in high school and retain a softspot for them, actually. I've recently been burning frankincense when I paint, which is probably a bad idea. I just think essential oils have a great name for marketing purposes.
That's fine. We're here on a nothing post about a nothing study with nothing conclusions about the nonexistent perils of "EORS" and everyone's shitting all over those poor benighted idiots who insist on overmedicating themselves but since they're doing it with hippiebalm we mock them in the name of science and cast aspersions on their "marketing" while you're here flagellating yourself in the name of Michael Shermer or some shit for daring to enjoy frankencense. It's a bad idea why, exactly? We have a whole bunch more history of art created via olive oil lamps than we do of art created via Ottlite. "medication overuse headache" is not just a statistically significant search term, not just a recognized acronym, it's an ICD-10 code. Yet why discuss that, it's boring. Let's spice it up by tying it into essential oils so that we can laugh and point at the hippies.
