Antiviral Essential Oils

 

Antiviral Essential Oils

 

Essential oils have a very long history. They have been in use throughout the world for thousands of years.

The ancient Egyptians, the Greeks and Romans all utilized essential oils. 

They used them for religious ceremonies, hair care, skin care, first aid, etc. 

Hippocrates himself recommended aromatic baths for health ailments and relaxation. 

Even King Tut’s tomb was found to contain the aromas of Frankincense and rosewood when it was opened in 1922.

Are there Essential Oils That Are Antiviral?

 

Historically, essential oils have been shown to assist the body in preventing and ridding itself of viruses.

In more recent history there have also been studies done that do in fact support essential oils being antiviral. 

According to Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt Ph. D. in his book Advanced Aromatherapy, ” In studying extracts of over one hundred plants from the Lamiaceae family, the great majority were found to have antiviral effects.”

Also R. Deiniger and A. Lembke, demonstrated in a presentation in 1987 the effectiveness of certain oils against viruses. Showing how certain oils contain antiviral properties and also that some are stronger than others. 

Even the North American Indians are given credit for using various herbs to prevent illnesses. 

Now while illness cannot always be avoided when using essential oils, they do appear to help the body in minimizing illness, and assist in the recovery process. Helping to ease discomfort and severity. 

I like to think of them as aids that help the body to do what it was intended to do!

Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt Ph. D. also says in his book The Healing Intelligence of Essential Oils: “As essential oils target a broad variety of structural elements of functional proteins and phospholipid membranes, they are effective against viral as well as fungal or bacterial infections.”
