And I thought, I'm alone.
But, when I Googled, the same question had been posted 1 year ago in US.
As for "why oils," I think the idea of home-based health care without having to rely on or pay for doctors has huge appeal for naturally-minded families trying to get by on less money in order to have more quality intangibles like intimacy, family time, community, etc. There are a lot of things for which they're great. A little eucalyptus or peppermint diffused in the air can really soothe a cough. Lavender does help you relax. Clove oil will numb mouth irritations. You can do a lot of good simple first aid with oils. That said, a lot of self-styled "wellness consultants" who've just paid for their kit and set themselves up as experts will have you eating and applying large amounts of lots of different oils for every malady real and imagined with little knowledge of or concern for possible contraindications or bad reactions that could occur. Essential oils are potent, and can easily be overdone.Essential Oil
