Seems like it would be easier and probably even cheaper to take your kid to the doctor than to gather and store all those materials and learn how to use them, even assuming the efficacy of both options is the same, which it definitely isn’t.

Because of what I have to admit is brilliant marketing. The ‘essential’ in essential oils just means ‘essence of,’ which is a perfectly valid, if dated, use of that word. However, because the modern connotation of ‘essential’ is ‘necessary,’ people convinced themselves that they need it. It’s obviously misleading, but not in a way that’s actually illegal. It’s both genius and fucking terrible.

The dtap shot is even easier. Its either free with insurance or around $20 and you only need it once a decade.
