“I’ve recently seen a couple of posts suggesting essential oils and ‘psychedelic medicine’ as treatments for anxiety and depression,” says Shiri Macri, MA, a licensed mental health counselor at Vermont wellness retreat center Green Mountain at Fox Run.
She also added that “while essential oils are wonderful and can be a great addition to a repertoire of self-care strategies, depression and anxiety are very real mental health conditions that often need more than simple self-care to heal.”
As for the psychedelics (a hallucinogenic class of drug whose primary action is to trigger psychedelic experiences): Using illicit and unregulated substances to “cure” mental health conditions can maximize the struggle and even lead to addiction.
