About their Products
Antiviral and antibacterial properties of essential oils:
If you could get the support you needed to fight microbes from a natural resource, why wouldn’t you? The Oil Solution suggests opting for a natural approach. Essential oils have been known to exhibit antimicrobial properties for a very long time. The antimicrobial properties of essential oils are well-documented in research studies. As essential oils can enter our cells they do not only have the ability to kill bacteria, but also viruses intracellular.
Essential oils naturally possess antibacterial and antimicrobial compounds, and it is these compounds that give oils the ability to fight off, kill and inhibit the growth of pathogens. Tea tree, Oregano, Cinnamon, and Frankincense (amongst many others) are known for their antimicrobial properties.
Tea tree and Oregano works together in a special manner where Tea tree dissolves the slimy, protective layer of a microbe and oregano then enters the microbe and kills it by making its cellular wall burst open. Therefore, it is even effective against some of the antibiotic-resistant bacteria (as seen in many studies).
Apart from the antimicrobial properties, most essential oils also have anti-inflammatory properties and that is why they can soothe and relief pain and swelling through relieving the inflammation. Lavender is well-known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
