Eucalyptus Radiata oil is well known for helping sinus and throat infections, fevers, and flu. It’s a drying oil, so it especially helps with coughs and colds with excessive mucus. It is a great antiseptic and antiviral oil, too. High in Eucalyptol (60-70%) and low in irritating aldehydes (less than 1%) this is one of the defining characteristics that distinguish it from Eucalyptus globulus (the more common eucalyptus oil). Eucalyptus Radiata is a safe choice when treating children

Lab studies show that the compounds found in peppermint oil have antimicrobial, antiviral and antioxidant properties, meaning it may also help fight infections that lead to symptoms involving the respiratory tract.

THINS MUCUS

Menthol and menthone are two chemical components present in peppermint, they have decongestant and mucolytic (thins mucus) actions.

Wintergreen

OVERVIEW

The minty Wintergreen oil is extracted from the leaves of a creeping shrub and contains a unique chemical component called methyl salicylate. This chemical contains strong soothing properties and naturally occurs in only two plants worldwide—birch and wintergreen. Wintergreen leaf contains an aspirin-like chemical that might reduce pain, swelling, and fever. Some of its uses include helping treat fatigue along with lung, sinus and respiratory illnesses. This oil is naturally an antioxidant, energizing and immune-enhancing, since it lowers inflammation and reduces pain

WHAT IS IT?

Wintergreen oil is a beneficial essential oil that’s extracted from the leaves of the

Gaultheria procumbens evergreen plant. Once steeped in warm water, beneficial enzymes within wintergreen leave called methyl salicylates are released, which are then concentrated into an easy-to-use extract formula using steam distillation.

BENEFITS

AIDS WITH COMMON FLU SYMPTOMS

Wintergreen essential oil can be just as powerful in relieving cold and flu symptoms as any over-the-counter cold medication. Inside of wintergreen essential oil is an aspirin-like chemical that helps to relieve pain while the fresh cool scent works as a very effective decongestant.

ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIVIRAL PROPERTIES

Gaultheria procumbent extract’s main ingredient methyl salicylate can be metabolized in plant tissues to form salicylic acid, a phytohormone that helps induce plant

immunity against microbial pathogens. It also displayed antimicrobial activity against

Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria can cause a variety of illnesses, as well as Paederus fuscipes, an insect that can cause dermatitis in humans.

CAN HELP TO BREAK UP THICK MUCUS CAUSED BY INFECTION

The decongestant properties help to break up thick mucus caused by infection, allowing you to expel the mucus and the infection in an easier and more comfortable way. For best results, diffusing the wintergreen essential oil in a nebulizing diffuser helps it to be inhaled and sent to the systems of the body that need it most.

Clove Oil

OVERVIEW

Apart from adding flavor and aroma to your curries and biryani, people use its oil, leaves, stems, and dried buds for various medicinal and health purposes. For its high antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, antiseptic, and stimulating properties, clove oil is a popular home remedy for various ailments.

WHAT IS IT?

Clove oil is produced by distilling the dried flower buds that are collected from the clove tree. Other parts of the tree, such as the stem and leaves, may also be used.

BENEFITS

ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES

In a study from 2012, researchers found that clove oil had the ability to kill staph bacteria cells in liquid culture and in biofilm. A biofilm is a community of bacteria that lives together, shielded by a protective, slimy film.

Most antibiotics aren’t effective at penetrating the biofilm and killing staph bacteria but, according to this study, clove oil seems to be able to.

 STRENGTHENS IMMUNITY

Clove oil can work wonders in boosting your immunity. The antioxidant property present in the oil acts as a scavenger for the free radicals that can cause various diseases like cancer and heart ailments. The dried flower bud of the clove contains

compounds that help in improving the immune system by increasing the white blood cell count, thereby, improving delayed-type hypersensitivity.

CAN AID WITH COLD & FLU SYMPTOMS

Clove bud oil is a natural remedy for helping with colds, flu, and bronchial congestion. It’s a powerful antioxidant and a strong antiseptic, too.

SOOTHES SORE THROAT

Clove oil can come in handy during times of sore throat, cough, cold, and sinusitis. The excellent expectorant, clove oil, can not only clear the nasal passage and gives you respite from respiratory problems but it also has a cooling effect on the nasal cavity and throat.

Tea Tree

OVERVIEW

Tea tree oil has been used as a traditional medicine by the Aboriginal people of

Australia for centuries. These native Australians crush tea tree leaves to extract the oil, then inhale it to treat coughs and colds or apply it directly to the skin for healing.

WHAT IS IT?

Tea tree oil, also known as melaleuca oil, is an essential oil with a fresh camphoraceous odor and a colour that ranges from pale yellow to nearly colourless and clear.

BENEFITS

AIDS WITH SINUSITIS AND RESPIRATORY ISSUES

Tea tree oil (Melaleuca) can inhibit the growth of bad bacteria that cause sinus infections and respiratory issues

PREVENTS VIRAL INFECTIONS

TTOs' antiviral activity on surfaces has been well documented, but researchers also tested the oil, along with eucalyptus oil, in aerosol and vapor states to determine the range of its benefits. Both tested oils' aerosols possessed strong antiviral action and were capable of inactivating model viruses with an efficiency of more than 95% within five to 15 minutes of exposure.

ALLEVIATE SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH RESPIRATORY ILLNESSES

Tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil are among the Essential oils proposed to possess antimicrobial properties in the airways and are commonly used as alternatives to or in addition to medications used to alleviate symptoms associated with common respiratory illnesses such as colds, influenza, and pneumonias.

IMPROVE SINUS CONGESTION

Tea tree oil may improve sinus congestion by fighting two potential causes: bacteria and viruses. A 2015 review notes that a compound called alpha-sabine in tea tree oil provides antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal effects.

 

MCT Oil

OVERVIEW

MCT oil is colorless and odorless while having an optimal fat content, making it an excellent carrier oil. Carrier oil, also known as base oil or vegetable oil, is used to

dilute essential oils and absolutes before they are applied to the skin in massage and

aromatherapy. They are so named because they carry the essential oil onto the skin.

Diluting essential oils is a critical safety practice when using essential oils.

BENEFITS AS CARRIER OIL

#1

As the name suggests, medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil contains medium-length

chains of fats called triglycerides. Due to their shorter length, MCTs are more easily digested than longer-chain fatty acids found in many other foods.

#2

MCT oil boasts antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral properties, improves gut health

(it is known to support the gut lining), fights candida, eliminate various pathogenic strains, viruses and bacteria that cause digestive problems such as constipation, diarrhea, etc.

#3

 MCTs is a “brain food” – it can be turned into ketones which can cross the blood brain barrier and be used as a rapid energy source for the brain – MCT oil is safe and beneficial for use in children of all ages
