Episode 126: Don’t Give Boys Lavender Oil and Other Lessons About Essential Oils
Manage episode 361412714 series 2902743
Episode 126 of our book read/podcast covering major topics in various fields of psychology moves us into a continuation of the Year of Clickbait with PSEUDOSCIENCE! This Spring we are going to be talking about pseudoscience. Who believes it? Why do they believe it? Is there a kernel of truth to some of the pseudoscientific beliefs people have? And more…
In this episode we discuss the secret world of essential oils while testing new equipment live at the Rocky Mountain Psychological Association. Daniel and Thomas talk about the bit of truth behind some oils, the rise of religious multi-level marketing companies pushing their oils to cure everything under the sun, and the dangers of over exposure and misuse of these ‘cures’. We also use the c-word (cults…) and whether or not they apply and muse on the claims by some past members on whether or not one of these MLMs is secretly run by the devil!
Warning: This episode may contain some graphic information and all season we will be talking about some less than savory topics.
