doTERRA and all the woo

A friend of my husband has a newish girlfriend. I got along well with her and was supportive of her during a difficult time as she transitioned to her move here, finding new work, etc. I always knew she (and our friend) were into alternative stuff and very VERY easily convinced of new and amazing detoxes, treatments, etc. She has a "degree" (8 month certificate) in holistic nutrition and recently joined what is essentially a coven where they meet to meditate over crystals and get in touch with their "god-given feminine vibe" through the (i shit you not) "articulate, intentional ingestion of essential oils". Yeah...they drink oils. Unsurprisingly, her witch group peddles doTERRA!

I am a horticulturist who is trained in local native plants and their medicinal uses, so she assumed I'd be into all this garbage. She asked me if I would post her shake recipe and tag her page. A shake that includes 3 separate doTERRA oils in quantities that are just insane...12-20 drops of 3 separate oils, which amounts to a stupidly dangerous amount of oil. This shake is for "increasing your feminine vibe and opening yourself to the wholeness of the feminine universality". Uhhhhh what now? It's for her new business! Surprise surprise!

I politely declined and when she pushed me, I explained that I am trained in using essential oils and telling people to ingest it was irresponsible and dangerous. She was soooooooooooooo offended and proceeded to tag my BUSINESS instragram (that has nothing to do with any of this) with a post about "people who deny the truth" and "those who don't believe in connecting with your true self through the life-giving oils".

I had to block her. Cue phone call to my husand from her boyfriend asking if I could just be nice and post her business ads. Thankfully, my husband stood his ground and told him no way.

Now I wonder if those witches are sending evil vibes my way while they circle around a crystal dipped in oil of hatred.
