I literally just looked up the swastikar hashtag on Mastodon 🤭

That’s just how our bus stops look here.

Is the hate more of an American thing because of the association with MLMs and their inflated claims?

Here in the UK, they’re used for minor ailments, relaxation and general fragrancing. If you tried to advertise them as a cancer cure, you’d get into a lot of trouble. I don’t like the smell of lavender, but I love how good it is for sore throats and minor burns (stops blistering and scarring if you put it on as soon as you’ve finished cooling it).

Speaking of burns, I only got the memo recently, so for those who also missed it, the advice is now to use tepid water to cool a burn rather than cold (apparently because colder water will make the blood vessels constrict so the heat doesn’t leave as quickly).
