Is it true that essential oils can kill different kinds of fungi, bacteria, and viruses?
A. Extensive studies have discussed the antibacterial, anti fungal, and antimicrobial properties of many essential oils. Research published by the university of Georgia, Weber State University, the Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association, and numerous other journals have documented the ability of essential oils to kill many strains of fungi, viruses, and gram negative and positive bacteria. Some of these include Staphylicoccus pneumoniae (responsible for lung and throat infections), Herpes simplex, Salmonella, typhosas, and Pseudomonas aeroginosa.
