That's been my concern. Mine were from a company called Young Living (family sent me one to try), and if I understand correctly, YL is one of the worst offenders of the MLM scheme. No documentation or scientific proof for anything, but whatever the case may be, that bottle sure did work. Better than any medicine I've ever taken, save for the exuberant MLM costs.

I'm curious which ones your wife uses/where she buys them. I'm definitely going to do some more research on these now.

My wife's actually bought some from those sellers, but for the most part she has other companies she uses. The oil is the oil, its just the recommendations that come with them (dumb sellers) that isn't safe.

Essential Oils can work.

MLM shilling through Young Living and doTerra is a scrounge on society.

 Her big issue with the essential oil ones is that people are hawking products without understanding the science behind them, and how and why they work in situations, and when otherwise safe oils can be dangerous to certain people.

My wife actually does an MLM for nails (ColorStreet), but did it more for the discount. Many MLMs are trash, most have not-so-straightforward practices. Not all of them are necessarily the scrounge, as (some) do help women make money they might otherwise not.
