Essential oils are the “in” things around here recently. People are using them to treat everything from insomnia, weight loss, to allergies. They are even telling people to take the oils internally without dilution. One of the main companies is even telling its sales people (they are MLM companies) that people cannot be allergic to essential oils because the molecules are too small to cause an allergic reaction to them and that if a person has a reaction it is a not an a allergic one but the body detoxing. I find this hard to believe. My understanding of allergies is that a person can be allergic to anything their body thinks is a foreign substance, even water. What are your thoughts. I have been unable to find a medical opinion of this online. Here is a link to what they are promoting http://anointingthefamily.com/2013/04/can-you-be-allergic-to-young-living-essential-oils.html
