Why?: What are u tying to treat ? Essential oils have never been shown to work. Therefore they remain ‘alternative ‘ definition, "alternative" is different than modern western medicine. Generally any drug, herb, treatment, or oil that stands up to rigorous scientific scrutiny is included in modern medicine. Many alternative practices, oils etc do not.
