Are essential oils essentially bad?

I invited Jen Novakovich, a cosmetic chemist, science communicator, and founder of The EcoWell to discuss the truth and safety of essential oils. 

We discuss: 

• Concern with marketing around essential oils 
• Risk for using essential oils
• What to consider if you do use essential oils
