botchan, you are confusing different things.
"Essential oils" in the States means oils that have magical therapeutic properties and essentially substitute for medical or psychological treatment. Tara Westover, whose book Educated retailed her struggle to escape her radically conservative Mormon family, describes in part her mother's "essential oils" business.
Mom, LaRee Westover, is opposed not just to COVID vaccines but to all vaccines, which she thinks cause all sorts of diseases.

Westover also sell oils that will heal your abuse, stop your fear of being alone, bolster your intuition, etc.

Obviously these "essential oils" are not the lavender or cedar fragrances that you and your wife use as a sort of perfume or room freshener. So the confusion arises from the unusual way in which people in North America use the term.
