“It is estimated that infections such as MRSA (staph infection) kill 5,000 people each year. This is partly due to the fact that current treatments are only successful in around 50 percent of cases; such treatments can also cause skin irritation. However, researchers may have discovered a much more efficient, not to mention pleasant, way to treat staph infections: Essential oils (compounds found within aromatic plants).
It seems that the use of these oils, typically used in aromatherapy, have been found to kill deadly MRSA bacteria within just two minutes of contact. By simply inhaling these essential oils, patients are able to prevent the risk of infection. And, unlike the current treatments made of single compounds, essential oils are made up of a complex mixture of chemical compounds that MRSA and other bacteria have a hard time resisting.
While testing, researchers used 40 essential oils against 10 of the most dangerous and deadly bacteria and fungi. Three of the oils successfully killed: MRSA, E. coli, and other bacteria and fungi. Researchers proved that any soaps or shampoos made by blending these three oils would be effective over a period of time. Further, hospital staff, doctors and patients can eliminate the spread of MRSA by using products made from these essential oils.”
