So more people left comments on Kristina's video asking her to remove it. She didn't do that. Instead, she just disabled comments! Also, she's a doTERRA rep. Waaaaaay down in her description after promoting her app and a bunch of other stuff, she says "Get Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils & Join My Doterra Essential Oils Team here".
You can report the video, which a bunch of people have already done (I was able to read some comments before she removed them). I believe this qualifies as "harmful and dangerous acts".
Because of course she is.... sigh.. It sucks when nice people with good intentions promote garbage!
Of course she’s a Doterra rep, they are always telling people to consume essential oils! Ugh.
Yeah right, Kristina actually remove a video? I immediately thought that as you suggested it. She'll likely go the opposite direction and double down.
But of course... the best part is that DoTerra made up their own “therapeutic grade” to certify their oils with, just like Young Living. Absolute cults and scams, and it’s appalling that she’s not only been sucked in, but is now sucking in her viewers as her downline as another income source. Who cares if they risk their health and finances, just as long as Kristina can make her Rainbow Salads, now with DoTerra oil dressings?
Can you mention that essential oils can be harmful and toxic to animals!
raw foodists won't eat an onion sautéed in canola oil but they'll straight up drink lavender oil lmao
+stephanie santos Don't be an idiot. "No," you won't find lavender oil occurring naturally. But you sure as hell won't find canola oil occurring in nature either. The difference is one diluted drop versus virtually drinking your refined oil. Dope. (And no, I don't consume either).
@@JoinTheProgress literally nothing i said had to do with either oil being natural... we're literally on a comment section of a youtuber with the word "unnatural" in her name. but go off i guess.
+stephanie santos It was with the assumption that you would understand the point being made, which I obviously under estimated; you were comparing two completely incomparable things. But I shouldn't expect more from anyone who watches this channel.
@@JoinTheProgress and something tells me you didn't watch this video. essential oils are dangerous to consume in any quantity, and my original point was that it is absolutely wild that there are raw foodists willing to consume something that is clearly dangerous and proven to be harmful but won't eat food that has been proven to be safe (never said oils are healthy). the difference between something being safe and healthy are pretty significant here. you could eat a dish at a restaurant that contains a tablespoon of oil once in a while and be fine. you could try one of Kristina's recipes with essential oil and likely experience serious digestive problems, headaches, fevers, and throat irritations immediately.
@@JoinTheProgress You are being an idiot, cause she's not comparing oils. She comparing raw and cooked foods. From Kristina's point of view sautéed onion is bad for you cause it's cooked. But consuming an oil that was made through distillation or other processes is somehow okay, even though the plants have to basically be cooked to get oils out of them.
"Dont put essential oils in plastic containers" mlm sellers tell you. "They will eat through the plastic. Oh but it's fine to ingest them! Just do it!"
I mean arsenic is also natural but I'm not adding that to my lemonade...

Lexie Thomas the tragic thing is that these mlm companies (and probably many other brands and misinformed people) recommend putting their essential oils on skin, and what’s worse is they target people with skins conditions (I.e. psoriasis) saying that their sham products will help.

If your esophagus completely deteriorates after investing essential oils, don’t worry, it’s just your body detoxing. Buy more oils.
I'm African American and our family has used use essential oils for natural hair for years (like tea tree oil, jojoba oil, etc.) Even topical oils can be irritants even when helpful. I have scalp issues and tea tree oil help me a lot since they are antibacterial and anti-fungal BUT if I use too much it can damage and irritate my scalp, pretty much reversing the helpful effect. Good things in moderation. Just because it can be helpful doesn't mean there are no risks. I wish people would realize this.
Me too! Too much tea tree or rosemary and my scalp is wrecked! 😂
but jojoba oil isnt an essential oil, do you mean as a carrier?
guhlible No I use it in my hair. I do use other essential oils these are just the ones that came to my mind. Any highly concentrated oil I just call essential oil. Not sure of the strict definition of it but it’s a concentrated oil.
@@fatcat4642 its essential in the sense that a lot of people cant go without jojoba oil.

I feel like all chemists just laugh when people talk about "natural"
Anyone with education on that topic, actually (ofc chemist have more knowledge and are better)😂😂😂
"Natural, cheap homemade skincare" is kinda cringe. They'd argue with you and get all defensive if you try to tell them anything about their sugar, lemon, honey, milk, rose essential oil mixed with tea tree oil and coconut oil that's been sitting in a leaky, plastic container for 4 weeks, because it's natural, and all the other clinically proven to work and dermatologically deemed to be safe products, that could ACTUALLY, TECHNICALLY AND LOGICALLY save money doesn't always mean better. They say "Oh that didn't work, I'll stick to natural stuff that works". A lot of people don't understand skincare is highly personalized and intimate and is different for everyone. It's always a hit or miss. While "natural" shit they mix inside their kitchen can actually be extremely unhealthy and harmful, or simply have no results. It's the same for all these "natural is better" kinda mindset
Not a chemist but I came from a family of doctors...yeah we laugh but we also pity people that say that. Its honestly sad.
Omg... geranium oil is not food safe!! What is wrong with that girl!!!
I think I read somewhere that geranium is an insect repellent.
Christine S Yes when you plant rose bushes. If you plant geraniums around them. They repel insects that eat roses.
Basically, a lot of people think there's such a thing as "food grade essential oils", when in actuality an essential oil and a food grade oil are mutually exclusive.
Christine S I mean, peppermint oil repels spiders but that’s safe to eat if done properly. I am by no means saying geranium oil is safe to eat, but the logic doesn’t quite hold up.
@@christines3638 *Good for baths too!* But i dunno if the citronella candles or "oily" baths kept bugs away from us 🤔
Why should you use these oils when you can just use the "raw" form, like, real oranges, dried lavender, lemon etc?!?
The same reason people use dried spices, concentration and convenience. I'll put a drop of spearmint oil in my coffee on occasion. It's yummy, you should try it.
@@michaeldonnan6767 spearmint essential oil? like, the kind that is a harsh chemical that can irreparably damage your esophagus, stomach, liver, and colon?
You can’t MLM raw orange peel... yet.
@@kitssewingkit you can get mint essence, a food flavouring. Kinda like vanilla essence ☺️
@@GreyChemical essense and oil are different though arent they.
I'm currently a student studying ecology and environmental science. I learned in one of my natural resource management legal classes that essential oil brands (particularly Young living) are known for illegally poaching endangered plant species for their oils. Rosewood and Madagascar mahogany are coveted Woody plants that are common targets. Using many brands/ types of essential oils can be quite detrimental to the environment. So Kristina and other vegans who use essential oils regularly, claim to be vegan in part for sustainability reasons. While they may do it with good intentions, they need to re-evaluate. They need to make sure their oils are sustainability sourced and not derived from endangered plants.
@Shimmy Shai true! I very rarely use them myself. I only do because I still have some from a long time ago. When I run out I won't be purchasing more. And yes, essential oils are pretty dang unnatural. You could maybe make an okayish argument for oils made from plants that naturally have more oils that occur, but even that's a stretch.
"Natural" definitely does not automatically mean safe. Nightshade and pennyroyal are natural and extremely poisonous. Lead and arsenic are naturally occurring too.
What? So I can't consume natural sulfur? What a shame :(
I mean, by their logic being bitten by snakes is absolutely no problem, since the venom is natural... Nice
By this logic, cyanide and concentrated uranium are a-ok as well!
Jess S it’s fine though! Radiation is natural!! :’D
hang on, pennyroyal is poisonous? and my college professor made us a drink with it...?
“But it’s natural!”
So is milkweed, but you shouldn’t drink that stuff...And you don’t just rub poison ivy on your skin.
But the poison ivy will cure your eczema, her galaxy cat familiar spirit animal told my oil dealer
Right? Like people will literally argue ANYTHING by saying it’s natural. Snake venom is “natural” but you wouldn’t fuckin drink it
Also lead and most poisons and all venoms are natural too
Thalia Rice Vegans don’t claim stupid people like that chick anyway
If everything natural is soooo healthy, guess I'll make tea with some belladonna flowers 🙃
When I was pretty young I ordered jasmine oil off of amazon to use as perfume. One day, I ran out of my favorite jasmine tea, so I was like, "oh! I will just use oil!" I immediately became VIOLENTLY ill. Immediate headache, nausea, and the most sickening, lingering taste. Needless to say I was an absolute idiot and will never ever ever ever ever come close to ingesting it ever ever ever again.
Jasmine essential oil doesn't exist. Its aromatic product is obtained through something called "absolute", which you can't ingest. And of course many companies label fragrance oils as "essential oils" just to sell. Besides, a lot of essential oils are corrupted, so not all of them are pure.
Drinking 1 to 2 liters of water in the morning before breakfast? After a workout? Do these people have work/school? 😭 I barely have time to breathe in the morning
Ive had 2 separate people n my life try to "cure my autism" with young living oils 🤦
Edit: these are not bad people who suggested this. They're people that have been lied to and brain washed. They see me struggle with certain things and wanted to help. Even if there was a magic cure I wouldn't want it. It's a part of who I am. (Similar to deaf people who don't want cochlear implants) thank you so much for all your kind comments everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful day.❤️
I can't even comprehend how awful someone needs to be to say that to another human being. I'm so sorry thats happened to you!
Jfc I'm so sorry, they can go choke on those oils.

Snake venom is only toxic if injected into the skin. So you can consume it with out having any happening, but who what’s to consume venom?
Ya so is cyanide

Both my sister and mom are obsessed with essential oils. They replace fluoridated toothpaste with essential oil toothpaste. They use capsules to take essential oils and put them in their water as well. I have told them multiple times that they're not safe for consumption! They never listen to me
That is so scary!
EOs are toxic when ingested, and they definitely aren't a replacement for fluoridated toothpaste :(

I remember back when I worked at one of those hippie stores, a lady came in and bought a bottle of peppermint essential oil (NOT food grade), poured the entire thing into a gas station cup of Diet Coke and drank all of it before even moving away from the register. As I stood there baffled, she explained “I’ve been feeling nauseous. Peppermint soothes the stomach.”
...poor lamb was so confused. I didn’t even know where to begin.
I have learned (the hard way) to walk away when I see things like that because those kind of people won't listen. Adults are responsible for their own stupidity.
As someone who works in the perfume industry I always find it amusing when people express profound enthusiasm for essential oils. I don’t usually say much about it, but in the hierarchy of aromatic extracts essential oils available commercially are some of the poorest quality you can find. I’ve never come across a brand which uses the most up do date and effective extraction methods to produce the purest absolutes. And since the sector is largely unregulated there is absolutely nothing stopping aromatherapy companies from adulterating their products to make them smell better and make more money. Linalool is an interesting example, you mentioned it, it occurs in the oils of numerous flowers and other scented source materials. The scent of Freesia is almost entirely Linalool. It can be produced by synthetic processes, it’s bio-identical to the stuff that occurs in flowers. But a cheap, low grade rose oil (for instance) can be made to smell better by adulteration with synthetically derived linalool (among other things) and sold as Rose essential oil with no mention of the included linalool because some linalool was already present in the stuff anyway and the lack of regulations means this is legally acceptable. Campherene (a known carcinogen) can be added to essential oils which have a fresh and green aspect to the perception of their smell where that molecule occurs naturally in the extracted oil, several white floral oils fall into this bracket as well as certain oils extracted from resinoids like Myrrh or Frankincense.
Oh wow this is super interesting! How/where can I get rose products that would be high grade ? I love the smell and what it does for my skin as well , so I would be looking for a facial oil and a perfume
@@gabriellarowden9442 the best sources are industry only. But I think in the US you can get decent stuff from perfumersapprentice or something like that, I forget the exact name…
Thank you for this. A friend of mine gave me peppermint oil to drink in water when I get nauseous. I trusted her, and it worked. So, I didn't even question it. But, I don't think the oil is necessary. Peppermint tea would do the same. I won't drink this anymore!
peppermint fresh breath tablets are better than peppermint oil, let alone peppermint tea, which does not work.
There's also peppermint extracts (food flavorings, usually sold near the spices) that use oil as a solvent instead of alcohol. These are similar to essential oil, although they actually have to pass FDA relations and are often diluted a bit already with more carrier oil to make them palatable at a reasonably measurable amount (cooks don't usually have an eyedropper in with the measuring spoons). They're also crucially From Food Ingredients that are generally recognized as safe--let's be real: nobody's great-gramma was known for her Theives-and-cheese spread or geranium salad.
You can get a wide variety of flavors in oil form (cinnamon, clove, orange, lemon, lavender, oregano are some common natural ones, but you can also get bubblegum, root beer, banana, etc). These are useful for flavoring things like chocolate that will break with the addition of water/alcohol, or for hard candies which are cooked at a temperature high enough to evaporate alcohol, and for people who for religious/medical/personal reasons avoid all alcohol. They also have a different flavor profile (unsurprisingly, as different flavor compounds will/won't dissolve in oil vs alcohol vs water vs glycerin). Some bottles (especially stuff like clove or oregano) even have warnings on them just like a cleaning product because they're known skin/eye irritants. Peppermint oil [flavoring] has been used for centuries, and unlike "geranium EO lemondade", has a pretty good track record WHEN DILUTED (and for the love of all that is holy DO NOT put it neat on skin or in your mouth--when I was in High School, DIY flavored toothpicks were really popular and I remember kids were getting burns and mouth ulcers from overuse of straight cinnamon oil in their cheeks)! In general, oil flavorings are really strong--you can't substitute peppermint oil 1:1 for an alcohol peppermint flavoring when baking or cooking--an just eighth teaspoon in a big batch of frosting veers dangerously into mouthwash/toothpaste territory.
In essence, what I'm trying to say is that a drop of peppermint [flavoring] oil, diluted with food or taken in copious amounts of liquid, is probably not going to be harmful. It has a long, long track record (hundreds of years) as an ingredient in foods, medicines, and products like toothpaste, and a commercial food extract is overseen by the FDA and similar bodies where they exist. But to say that because some peppermint oil is okay (in limited, diluted amounts--flavorings are vetted as safe //when used in the accepted manner//, aka for flavoring a food item to the point of pleasureable taste) and covered by the FDA and sold in stores as a food item, then (a) it must also be perfectly safe to use at any dose/concentration/application, or (b) that an essential oil produced by a manufacturer that is not overseen by the FDA must be just as safe, and/or (c) that /any/ essential oil (be it cloves, geranium, or thieves) can be used safely in a similar manner...that's reckless at best and deadly at worst--PEOPLE HAVE DIED from essential oil misuse!
All that to say, your friend may not have been feeding you essential oil.
Make some fresh ginger tea! works well with an upset stomach 😊
Peppermint essential oils and peppermint oil aren’t the same. The safe peppermint oil is actually an essence or extract

Can we all just agree that if your body is having a reaction, severe or mild, it's not "detoxing".
But that just means that it's working, silly. You just gotta detox some more 🤪
I’ve been consuming essential oils for years(not often at all but still) and I had no idea it was at all harmful. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!( I feel so stupid for not thinking it was bad lol)
Please don't ingest essential oils!
A family friend did just that - gave her sick toddler Young Living Thieves essential oil to "boost his immunity", instead of taking him to the doctor.
The poor kid ended up in hospital with a dangerously high temperature - turns out he had bronchitis :(
All the essential oils did were to make him worse - he was vomiting after each dose, and was getting really dehydrated.
So not only did they not help, they made him even sicker.
Don’t feel bad! You didn’t know and now you do ❤️
I have chronic illnesses and if I didn't have a degree in science I may have fallen for them too. They take advantage of desperate people who are either too broke for medical treatment or distrust the medical industry. I have been hurt by doctors and medical professionals before, but most of them are not bad people. Please find a good doctor and stop listening to these people they are ignorant or evil either way it can seriously hurt you and it's hurting many of them too.
same!

MsLarrythegreat but a coke would mean coke? How is that a blanket term? Soda would be a blanket term?
I thought u only used essential oils for aroma in rooms, in homemade bath bombs, soaps...
Why the heck would I drink it?!
I would use my dried mint in water or tea not oils
Cellin Elise Henriksen some of them you can apply on your skin. Like eucalyptus, but I would NEVER invest it.
@@gaithrislife It's recommended that you dilute pure essential oils with a carrier oil (like olive or coconut oil) before applying any to skin.
@@gaithrislife the facts are no, none of them are safe, inn fact, fragrances are all bad, for co-19 CDC said washing hand with fragrance-free soap, see here. no fragrance.
Cellin Elise Henriksen I grow my own Morocco mint myself, it’s contained in a pot or if in the ground in a good place because it grows everywhere. I have it for years now and Belgium has not the hard cold winters but it can handle cold, snow and freeze. It grows back.

Essential oils can be great, but they also can be incredibly dangerous including for pet owners. Please be extremely careful and keep in mind that even if used safety for humans to also make sure it is safe for your pets. Please remember it can hurt or even kill your pet even if it is safe for humans. Just be safe.
It's the only reason I'm not using a diffuser in my home. I have a cat and don't want to take the risk.
Yikes, I didn't realize! I thought I was being a good cat mom by diffusing instead of having candles to make my house smell nice. (Cat is a klutz.)
"It's just essential oils, it's fine it's ~𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭~" had me weak lol
I genuinely love this woman’s etiquette and goal. I always felt like veganism is too hard or I would be crucified for not doing it right. Since finding this account I’ve switched to vegetarianism because I’m doing what I can to help animals and I don’t feel bad about it! Eventually, my goal is veganism but I feel like I’m doing a little bit of good as I get there too.
Caitlin Silver amazing! Glad you‘re taking steps in your own pace to live a more ethical life :))
@@MissStillAlive I really wish vegans would refrain from bringing ethics into it. I know since so many do it ya'll might not realize how it sounds, but, it sounds quite judgemental. Also there are new points of view regarding the ethics viewpoint but I choose not to bring that into the conversation as know how it feels when vegans talk down to a person. Just please think abt it as being judgemental doesnt make our world a better one
Kim Atkinson - im vegie-curious, or vegi-lite. Ie., actively reducing my meat consumption.
I dont mind many ethical and environmetal arguments, but i do laugh when i see a holier-than-thou type talking about eating almonds, tropical fruit grown in the tropics (vs green house) banannas (single clone-crop that is hoorible on the environmnet.). They are so un self aware of their own impact that such food choices make. Im not saying dont eat these fruits, im saying only ...dont do it and preach to others about how bad any particular choice is on the environment.
But yeah, we all can do better about eating more locally, less water consuming fruits/veg, less or even no meat, etx!!!
i've become a vegetarian too and trying to adapt slowly to vegan but i don't want to be judge and i don't want to judge others, just lead by a positive example
@@KonservativeKim I’d love to hear more about what you mean and examples as I’m always striving to have better conversations
I've disliked and reported the video under the 'harmful and dangerous acts' it's ridiculous that this is allowed on here, if she wants to slowly kill herself, that's her choice, it is wildly irresponsible to allow her to promote this!
Report the video people! Strength in numbers x
Swayze, did you see Tiffany Ferg's video on MLMs? She is a thoughtful, caring, genuine human. Her videos always get me thinking.
What's scary is I know a nurse who sells Young Living and promotes drinking essential oils on her social media! I'm like "YOU ARE A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL!"
emjones That's really scary. People will buy and consume these oils because she is a Healthcare professional
Eee no that's not good. The fact that she works in medicine is even worst as people are going to trust her advice
You might want to consider reporting her to whoever licenses nurses in her state. She is going way beyond her scope of practice, and doing so to make money.
Yeah. I know a medical assistant who sells DoTerra. Supposedly, it was the only the thing that cured her autoimmune illness after going to see muliple doctors.
@@werelemur1138 stop reporting people ffs. Freedom of speech will be killed because of numptys like you. Who gives a shit if she takes oils . stop following her if you dont like it. Reporting people actual idiots.
I use a few drops in a diffuser, because sometimes I want my house to smell like dirty hippie ass, as opposed to dog lmao
Look into what kind of essential oil you can use with a dog in the house. Some are toxic to them and can slowly kill your dog.
juniper quaintrelle I got an essential oil diffuser as a Christmas gift and thank god I did a little research on diffusing oils first. I have a dog and seeing that so many of the most popular oils people diffuse are toxic to dogs was scary. My vet recommended to just not to diffuse any oils at all to be completely safe, as even the ones that aren’t necessarily toxic can still irritate your dog to the point of severe discomfort. So now I just use the diffuser as a fancy night light lmao
Gabbie just get some incense 🤷🏻♀️
Litch The Shinigami my vet advised against incense as well. You can find the information with a simple google search too. “Burning incense around dogs is bad for them. It emits smoke which contains a number of chemicals known to cause disease and other health problems in humans and animals. Many people wrongfully assume that because incense is burned so freely and actually smells good, that there is no harm in the smoke. This is simply not true.” So yeah, no thanks.
@@bealikethebug well i mostly burn it for spiritual reasons so it's one of those cases where i don't have a choice if i don't want to feel like absolute ass.. also i don't have a dog
I just checked their pricing out of curiosity........ a pack of 3 oils (lavender, lemon, and peppermint) is $66.67
oh boi
What the fuck. How big are those bottles?
I mean... There are in fact REALLY expensive essential oils like Rosa Damascena (Turkish rose) or Jasminum Grandiflorum (jasmine). 5ml of rose essential oil can cost up to 150$
But lavender, peppermint and lemon are usually very inexpensive oils. Jeez, do they sell them by the pint???
Peppermint extract is $2.99
Lemons extract is also $2.99 (or just get fresh lemons)
Organic lavender is $8.99
All available on Amazon, all safe to consume. Why someone would consume essential oils is beyond me.
@@melanie-rosannastevens7861 it's a .15ml bottle...
I got a sponsored ad for Doterra oils before this... Kill me now
Carly 🤣🙅🏻♀️
I did too!
What pissed me off the most was that she wasn't just mentioning the doTerra oils, she actually put a link to recruit downlines. I flagged her video.
So thrilled this turned into an Anti-MLM video. I watch them often, but to hear my favorite, no-nonsense CZcamsr discuss MLMs made my day.
So glad you're talking about this! Recently, I was looking into getting tooth tablets, and I saw one brand that literally listed "peppermint essential oil" as an ingredient. Had me immediately worried. Why wouldn't they use peppermint extract, which is intended to be consumed?!
Also, I agree MLMs are horrible!
If you don't know what an up line is, you have quality acquaintances.
Looks like she is selling doterra.. makes more sense. Smh
Came for the fully-raw-facepalm, learned what an MLM is. Win win!
I didn't even know you weren't supposed to drink essential oils! While I really only lemon+sage oils mixed with jojoba and almond oil on my hands and body (not face, that crap burns when it gets in your eyes lol), my mother used to be on the doTerra bandwagon and would put drops of essential oils in her water. I never knew it was harmful, so once you started talking about how people shouldn't do that, I literally paused the video and called my mother to tell her that she should NEVER put oil in her water again. So thank you, because there are actually people out there (like me) who don't know that this crap is dangerous.
I bought Doterra oils from my friend and she told me to put drops directly under my tongue! SEVERAL drops at a time. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this.
Alois Trancy always ask questions
I've only been told to ingest essential oils by people who are selling them
You remind me of Daria..in good way lol
IVEGYuvon omg she does! Daria was my favorite show as a teen, though. 🙂
Can't unsee this now. I think it's the voice. I love Daria 😂
Omg ur so right 😂
Omg she really does lol!
She's a calmer, less negative Daria lol
I work in a store that sells essential oils for defusers and the bottles are REALLY small usually 3 or.4 oz each. Thats smaller than the bottles Kristina uses.
When they break I have to clean them up using a special oil cleaner but I have to tell customers to leave the area due to inhalation risk (I wear a special mask A.RESPIRATOR- the same type you use for DUST/MOLD. due to the scent making me feel ill.) So yeah DO NOT DRINK THEM. It can make you VERY sick or even kill you
Got a dōTERRA ad on this video... lol @ CZcams’s ad placement algorithm
i'll do you one better i got two
"Its all natural.!" So is wolfsbane. Sos deadly nightshade .
shell matheis So is 💩
So is lead, mercury, most poisons and all venoms
Also, if you have pets, be warned, they can be dangerous to them. I used to use a sleep blend essential oil and my older dog started acting really weird, I stopped using it and she seems to be back to normal.
I was almost hospitalized when someone decided it was a good idea to put lavender essential oil into my lemonade without me knowing... I am very allergic to lavender... not only that but I wouldn't put any kind of oil in my lemonade
Just noticed that Freelee put doTerra into her drinks in her early What I Eat In a Day videos too.
“breaking news: local deranged youtuber dies from liver failure, more at noon”

Same. They smell so good. But I could never imagine putting them in my body 🤮
Same 🙋♀️
Fr! My room smells great but I’m not gonna drink my fabreeze either
Same, can’t have candles in college dorms!!!!
@@corinndykes3254 I have the world's clumsiest cat, no candles in my house!
I study Herbal Medicine and we were told to NEVER under any circumstances consume essential oils. We had to be told this because of people such as Kristina spreading this dangerous trend
Lmao for a second I thought I was reading an old comment of mine
Gus nice pic haha!
Yeah ingesting them is a REALLLYY bad idea.
I would love to hear your opinion on CBD supplements. I am skeptic of a lot of the claims made by the people promoting them and it feels like a lot of the companies are also MLMs. I believe that CBD probably has some benefits (unless I'm wrong) but I see sooo many people (especially vegans) pushing them and I would love a rational opinion on them. Loved this video!!
I’m curious as well. They are everywhere now.
What do you mean by CBD? I’ve only seen that used to abbreviate Chronic Bowel Disease lol
Im not too sure if this will help, but I have 4 different chronic migraine disorders (neurological, ocular, vestibular, and abdominal) 2 of which affect me every single day (ocular and vestibular). The main daily issue being that both types of migraines affect my sight. My left eye is very... lets say, damaged. I will never see properly out of it again and I know that. At times though my eyes (sometimes just the left) will develop extreme light sensitivity and sometimes head or eye pain comes with it. CBD oil is the ONLY thing I have ever found to help me with this. Ive tried all over the counter and my migraine medicine only helps with my neurological migraines when I get them. CBD rubs as well as a essential oil infused balm are the only thing that will ease my daily headaches. Btw no Im not vegan and I have tried medications and ill often pair them with balms or oils to hopefully have a better effect even though ibuprofen doesn’t work for me much anymore (i had to take it too often) I hope that this maybe helped give you a little insight on CBD.
Side note: I always try something with the expectation that it wont work because I feel like this will never go away. So when I decided to try CBD I wasnt expecting any results. I thought thatd be too easy of a solution. So for it to have worked for me you can understand my shock. The reason why im mentioning this is some people think CBD is a placebo. Im living proof that its not because I didn’t believe a damn thing would ever help especially something i can pick up at my grocery store. But it did and now im in a lot less discomfort everyday.
CBD oil has literally changed my life with anxiety
My partner owns a medical marijuana company in Colombia and honestly I've seen sooooooo many people benefit from cbd or topical creams. He started the company because his grandmother got cancer and was in severe pain towards the end and he wanted to help . You have to make sure the cbd is potent enough (not the shit that's sold in British pharmacys). I've seen people with headaches ,back problems, tumors , fibromyalgia ,arthritis, athletes, anxiety and ADHD to name a few all benefit from the use of a few drops injested daily . I would suggest you do your own research and buy it from people who actually care about you and not just money . You can tell it's legit when you are asked about existing health issues , your blood pressure, if you're pregnant and actually explains the differences between extractions and marijuanas natural components.
The most important thing I got from this: "Hippies clean your ass."
Awe inspiring
1 Dōterra salesperson disliked this video lol
I use a couple drops of essential oil in water to clean with, I could never imagine drinking that.
You can get chemical burns from pure essential oils.
Why would that be thought of as okay to drink?
I am former network marketer and the claims my company made were just outrageous! Thank you for actually doing the research on these companies!
Tea tree oil is the only one I use, I use it with my shampoo and styling spray it smells nice and helps with itchy scalp.
Also kills lice!
also helps with acne
Just remember to never ingest it cause it's one of the more toxic ones.
Really helped with my acne. Love tea tree but never crossed my mind to actually ingest the oil. They always say to use carrier oil to dilute it. So I’m shocked that people would just ingest it. Topical is just fine.
theheartyaerie it’s really good for scalp care
Oils shouldn't be taken internally without the care of a trained and certified aromatherapist. They can cause internal chemical burns, liver, and renal failure. I'm an aromatherapist and I never ever recommend them for internal use!
They shouldn't be taken without supervision of a doctor, not just an aromatherapist. I'm sure you're very good at your job, but you're not a doctor.
@@kitssewingkit I'm not. I only recommend them when patients already have a diagnosis, and never for serious ailments. I know my limitations. But since I'm also a therapist I do address psychoaromatherapy.
Edit: also not many doctors even know what aromatherapy is really about so that's a problem.
For reference, I'm a chemistry student and when I did my OChem Lab we had to distill essential oils: we distilled 1 small drop (it was pratically invisible) of oil from 100 g/3.5 oz of lavender.
Shimmy Shai it was so small that at the beginning me and my lab partners couldn’t even see it, we thought we had botched the distillation
I lost it when @Unnatural Vegan said "It’s just essential oils guys, it’s fine, it’s natural".
Ugh.. essential oils, so sick of them getting a free pass because they are natural. They are so incredibly wasteful. As much as I love diffusing lemon because it makes my house smell great, I've significantly cut back due to their wastefulness.
I try to remind peeps that Bella Donna also natural from a plant, but hey Darwin awards are a thing 🙄
What do you mean? I've never heard the wastefulness argument before
@@theyoutubeanalyst3731 Just because it takes so much plant matter to yield such little oil. It takes hundreds of thousands of rose petals to make 5 ml of pure rose oil for example.
@@theyoutubeanalyst3731 the amount of plant matter you need to make an ounce or less of essential oil is very wasteful. You need approximately 3 pounds of lavender to extract 15 ml.
@@iwillnotseeyourreply.9235 - sure, but seriously, what else would you do with rose petals? The way I see it, is they are using a strain of Rose's that are not bred for beauty but for yield, so it's not leaving florist's short. The plant is still producing oxygen even in non production times. Other than the fact that its useless, and the land could be used for something else like food, I don't see the waste.
There's a really good/disturbing episode of the podcast Behind the Bastards about Gary Young, founder of Young Living ✌
LOVE BtB. Solid recommendation. 👍🏼
Behing the Bastards is my new favorite podcast. Hilarious and educational!
Love this podcast, that was the first episode I listened to. Horrific
Just checked it out, great recommendation, thanks!
I also get nauseous when I wait too long to eat! Low blood sugar is the most likely reason that I've found.
I almost joined an MLM when I was eighteen. It was a place called Vector and I was going to be a sales rep. Sounds pretty legit right? Nope. They wanted me to sell Cutco knife sets. So I was like: ok that’s fine, I’m going to be at a store or something right? Nope. The second day they asked us to write a list of all the people we know. They made us write 150 names... I couldn’t even get to 50. Then they explained that we needed to call all of our family and friends to make appointments to buy these knives. That I wouldn’t be paid for mileage or hourly. Just commission and the time spent at an appointment which was $9 for an hour. I did not go back the third day. The secretary called me three times per day asking me if “I was sure,” for almost a week. I had to have my dad scream at them to stop stalking me. MLMs are terrible and really shouldn’t be legal!
But... water and oil don’t mix right? I’m confused ! The oil would float on the surface so what’s even the point?
Dolittle's Den that’s exactly what happens. I was told to drink peppermint oil in water for stomach aches, it burns your lips and mouth and throat so much.
essential oil is not an oil at all, educate yourself. You are confusing true carrier oils with essential oils.
Diane Magnolia you can get peppermint capsules - I got mine from Holland and Barrett in the uk. Really help my stomach ache.
Still doesn't mix with water. Still floats to the top. Carrier oil or essential oil. The result when mixed with water is the same.
@@annamarialetterbond3704 Lmao essential oils ARE oils. The difference is that they're highly volatile oils which makes them react differently than your average "carrier" oil. But they microscopically have the same biological that classifies them as an oil and therefore doesn't mix with water.
I do use essential oils as bug repellant.
I use rosemary, peppermint, and tea tree oil in my shampoo because they make my scalp feel tingly and nice 😊
Idk what would make anyone think they are ok to consume.
I use dr bronners, which have essential oils, but they are diluted and I haven't had any negative reactions to them. Some oils can be therapeutic diluted for skin ailments, bug bites, etc, but you have to do research and make sure that the oil you use is safe for topical use.
Chrystal Frost they also are a great people repellent, just talk about how great they are and start pushing them down other people's throats and pretty soon u should be people free!!
@@ussrwitch I don't think they are the be all and end all. They have their place--aromatherapy, in soaps, diluted and used as bug repellents, in candles. But I'm not going to claim they cure everything because they don't.
You don't have to be a smart ass and sarcastically tell me to not do something that I am not doing.
I use eucalyptus oil in a diffuser when I have a cold (stuffy nose, etc). Some oils are helpful but wouldnt recommend anyone ingesting them.
They should be using food grade concentrates of lemon, orange, lavender and etc.
“Quackery” I was YELLING 💀
Putting essential oils into the air is dangerous to pets. Cats can't metabolize things like lavender oil.
I use them to help with smells during infusions, chemo, etc. I don't like the smell or taste of the hospital/drugs. I use mints to help with the taste, and oils on a necklace made for essential oils.
I use essential oils as fragrances. Don't need any magical healing quality. My room smells like a witch's den and that's what I like. :3 But, I am grateful you are warning people. Thank you! I intuitively felt ingesting essential oils would be a bad idea but never knew for sure. Thanks a lot for educating people.
I made marijuana cream to help with muscle pain. In one of my batches i added a few drops of lavender oil to it. And it cause skin iratation. I had to loose the whole batch i was pissed. Never used it again. Id rather deal with the marajuana smell and not hurt. Than to smell decent and itch like crazy.
Also marajauan cream is great if you want some of the healthy benefits of marijuana without dealing with the high. But it stays in your system longer....
It took almost 3 months for me to pass a drug test after quiting.
Lmao why did I get a doterra ad on this
Clearly they don't know who they're advertising to, I obviously did not come here to buy oils.
Please please make a video on alkaline water! (Kangen to be more specific and their MLM 🤦🏽♀️).
forevermia actually that’s a good idea! I approve of this message.
Yes please, I'd love to see that
forevermia are there any videos you can recommend on this subject? I am very interested( been seeing alkaline water everywhere) and can't find anything aside from videos touting reasons why you should drink it. Thanks
@@haileygrey5047 There's almost nothing out there :( Cassandra Bankson has a video on alkaline water and how it's basically a scam. Moon and Rock (who were pretty extreme on the vegan, natural everything scale) also mentioned in a live chat that they bought the Kangen water machine because they believed what people told them but I think it negatively impacted their digestion because they said they were selling it..I don't think they wanted to say more since their friends (like Alyse from Raw Alignment and others) are people promoting and selling the machine.
Just adding on to help provide more stuff to look into on this topic, people tout alkaline water bc they think that drinking alkaline water will make your overall body pH more alkaline. People more knowledgable about human health disprove this by saying you can't change your body pH with alkaline water and that a change in body pH is a sure trip to the ER (ex, diabetic ketoacidosis). It's on the same basis as what people claim to be "ketosis" in the keto diet.
I let all 8 or so commercials play just cause I love your channel that much! Keep up the great work :)
Love that you have shed some light on this issue! I am a certified aromatherapist and actively try to spread education on essential oil safety. It really annoys me that MLM companies are putting a bad name on essential oils by advocating unsafe practices. Also wanted to note, Linalool is not a skin irritant. It only becomes a skin irritant once it has oxidized. Same with d-limonene and other monoterpenes. This is why it’s so important to properly store your oils and keep them away from light, heat, and housed in a small container where as little oxygen as possible is in the bottle. If anyone has further questions, feel free to check out my channel or contact me personally.
Thanks, I just did a drive and a handful of my essential oils were left in a hot sunny car. Gonna throw them out and avoid making the same mistake next time.
