Research centres around the world are currently studying essential oils in depth.

I recommend them for their antibacterial and antifungal properties. Essential oils differ significantly from antibiotics (monomolecular) thanks to their biocompatibility; they are naturally able to discern good germs from bad ones, and their complexities (plurimolecular) make them formidable enemies of harmful microbes.

Thanks to this unique property, essential oils can offer protection without provoking resistance. While most essential oils preserve biological integrity, some even boost immunity.

For the most part, these oils stimulate both innate and specific immunity while fighting off bugs. Isn’t that wonderful?

This allows us to act on several fronts and enjoy long-term effectiveness, which increases our chances of winning the battle and staying on top.

The following essential oils are known for their antiviral properties: 

● Cinnamomum camphora (Camphor) : Antiviral, immunostimulant and antibacterial.

Pure essential oil can be diffused into the air.

However, to use it on your skin, be sure to dilute it in vegetable oil (10% essential oil to 90% vegetable oil). Reduce the concentration for dermocaustic essential oils, that is, oils that can burn skin when they aren’t sufficiently diluted. Some essential oils can be ingested, but you should never attempt this without advanced training or professional guidance. Don’t underestimate their potency!
