Episode 05 Essential Oils: Spend your 6.99 on a Latte instead of tea tree oil

Summary: <p>This is the next installment in our war on science series and we're looking at the first episode of the Netflix documentary (un)Well "Essential Oils".  This trend is a little too soothing for us to go too hard at the concept, but never fear!  Marc and I have plenty to say about a couple of the key figures featured in this episode.  Dr. Z, my dude, we are coming to drag you!  Listen for digressions into gangster rap, a little bit of our personal experience with western medicine and as always, Marc tells jokes.  </p> <p>Thank you for listening to us each week.  We hope if you like us that you'll leave a review and share with friends.</p> <p>Monroe, Rachel, Sheila Marikar, and Judith Thurman. “How Essential Oils Became the Cure for Our Age of Anxiety.” The New Yorker, 2017. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/10/09/how-essential-oils-became-the-cure-for-our-age-of-anxiety.</p> <p>Integrative, PDQ, Alternative, and Complementary Therapies Editorial Board. “Aromatherapy With Essential Oils (PDQ®).” PDQ Cancer Information Summaries [Internet].
