Essential oils and Chakra healing

My sister has been an advert avocate of essential oils such that she quited her job some years back and joined an MLM selling essential oils. So much so that when her sons are sick, she does not feed them medicine but instead bring out her whole box of essential oil and her manual of the different types and cures aka the essential oil encycropedia and started oiling my nephews.

At some point in time I think to myself if she had gone crazy, or is simply too obssesed with her own products that when one is sick, why done she just bring them to the doctors and let them do their job??

As I embarked on my own journey of healing, both body and mind, I come across a topic on youtube: Essential oils as a form of Chakra healing. Thats when i started to get interested to understand what exactly my own sister is peddling and what are their effects on our bodies and our chakras.

Each of our chakras as associated with a colour code and in order to balance that chakras, you should apply the respective essential oil, associated with each of the colors on each of the area prefereably through means of massage. Below are the colour codes and the respective oils that can be used to balanced each of our chakras (from https://www.color-meanings.com/color-therapy-and-aromatherapy-can-they-be-integrated-for-the-purpose-of-healing/)
