Oh, I certainly believe they can effect you as plants makes some crazy chemicals and I posted the one article with scientific cites at the bottom are anecdotal.

My wife bought some E oil for migraines which I suffer from and are blindingly painful. She came in quietly and set up the diffuser near me without me knowing and turned it on. It did not take the pain away but defiantly helped a bit.

I posted the article about some E oils lowering free test by binding to the androgen receptor.

I think some are an untapped resource for some folk but there is also a lot of BS spewed by people touting E oils as cures for cancer and crap. Certainly some of it is like the homeopathic stuff that does nothing because it is just water.
