Essential Oils Without the Hype

Camille Rourke

A few drops of lavender promise a lot on that little label, and it is worth knowing what is fact and what is wishful thinking. This sorts the two apart: which oils have real evidence behind them, how dilution and skin sensitivity actually work, where diffusing helps mood without touching illness, and the safety limits too many bottles leave out. Clear-eyed and grounded, with no exaggerated claims attached.
