The Truth contest, Essential Oils and New Age Spirituality
#27
RE: The Truth contest, Essential Oils and New Age Spirituality
What is spiritual?  It implies a beliefs in spirit, or at least a spirit world, or in "things not seen". 
It opens the door to all sorts of woo.  I tried it.  It didn't take.  

Meditation can be good for calming the nerves, but don't give me that crap about "connecting with the universe" or whatever.  
Essential Oils can make a room smell great, but I think their effect on health and mental wellness has been pitched by modern snake-oil salesman.

Same with any other belief - put it through scientific testing, validate it, publish the facts, then it might be worth a look.
