Therepeutic Grade Essential Oils Kill Microbes - University Studies ShowTherapeutic-grade essential oils are studied at universities, and the results show that they are effective against all types of microbes. Reuters Health found that two essentials oils (eucalyptus and Melaleuca alternifolia) were effective in treating MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infections. In a study of 25 patients, twenty-two of the infections resolved completely when using the combination once a day for several months. And 10 of those patients were diabetic which normally makes wound healing quite difficult. The doctors also made an aerosolized version and found out that when it was sprayed on tuberculosis cultures, it killed the TB in 40 minutes! And, Georgetown University showed that oregano oil was as effective as the traditional antibiotics such as streptomycin, penicillin, and vacomycin in inhibiting the growth of staphylococcus bacteria. Andrew Weil, MD. states the following: I expect that essential oils may someday prove a vital weapon in the fight against strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Lavender, thyme, and tea-tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) oils have been used for centuries as antiseptics; their chemical compounds appear to kill microbes on contact. According to D. Gary Young, ND, There has not been a single bacteria or virus tested that has been able to survive in the presence of therapeutic-grade essential oils! There is so much wisdom in using therapeutic-grade essential oils. If you have not heard about the Essential Oil Desk Reference, ask me! It is a very valuable reference to have on hand in order to support your health and that of your friends and family. Mike
