When you join the world of The Company (I will refrain from using the name of the company whenever possible, and this refer to it only as The Company), you are granted membership to many Facebook groups. Some groups focus on the business side of The Company, and some focus on peer support, asking advice and recommendations on oil treatment options for various conditions. There's even one for use of oils on animals. These groups are both enormously beneficial and helpful, and they are at times maddening and hilarious. I will share my interpretation (paraphrased) of some of the ones I found amusing. Warning: I am going to make fun of fellow oilers. If you can't stomach lighthearted mockery, or feel the need to defend even the most absurd use of oils, you should probably skip over the Wacky and Weird posts.
"I have an African Gray Parrot and he is very noisy, singing and chattering all day long. What oils can I diffuse or put on his feet to make him be quiet?"
"This is super duper embarrassing, but my dog eats his own poop and of course has terrible breath. Is there an oil I can use to make him stop this?! It's SO gross!"
And one I just read today, "I have a ghost in my house. He opens all the drawers in my kitchen when I am gone. What oil will rid my house of undead spirits?"
Please remember I'm new, and to me using oils to try to change the normal behavior of animals seems, well, out-there. And ghosts? I can't even....
Maybe in a few years these things will seem perfectly reasonable to me as a seasoned oiler, in which case I grant my family permission to stage an intervention to deprogram me.
