Some viruses and bacteria do have a survival advantage because the viruses can change shape and the bacteria are immune to existing drugs, and scientists are not developing new drugs as fast as they are immune to older drugs.

In the battle for our well-being and health, we must be more vigilant and must try every possible means to prevent the spread of the virus.

One of the most important things is to wash your hands at all times and teach our kids to do that too, and use antibacterial hand gels when water is not available.

Some viruses can stay on the skin surface for 48 hours or even more than 48 hours. Therefore, it is best to assume that these virus microorganisms exist on our skin surface, and we must clean the skin surface frequently.

The reason why microorganisms can spread successfully is mostly due to the close contact between people.

Crowded subways and buses every day make it possible for us to be exposed to carriers of viruses and bacteria at any time.

Therefore, it is wise to use a mask whenever a particularly dangerous infectious disease is raging. Essential oils can easily be used with masks to provide us with double protection. We should embrace these self-protection methods to protect ourselves and our families.

Application of essential oils

The antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties of essential oils have long been proven by research, and these benefits are due to the natural characteristics of the plant itself, perhaps this is the natural barrier that plants fight against viruses, bacteria and fungi to protect themselves. Most essential oils are safe to use with other medications you are taking.

Now, essential oils have been widely used as natural protectants, the latest application is the use of essential oils on food packaging, essential oils can protect food from the invasion of certain bacteria.

Available essential oils include marjoram, rosemary, and cinnamon. Even potent yellow fever viruses are weakened by the presence of marjoram oil; tea tree oil is known to treat certain types of influenza; and laurel and thyme oils have been shown to protect against many types of bacteria.

There is a problem that bothers people, that is, when encountering a microorganism attack, the body’s natural defense system will step up its work to fight the invasion. In this case, if you have to face other microorganisms that invade at the same time, you will appear powerless and vulnerable.

Therefore, a full set of fronts must be built, not just to prevent one virus infection, but all. The beauty of essential oils is precisely their ability to ward off viruses, bacteria, and fungi at the same time.

But the degree of resistance varies. When the patient’s own immunity is relatively low, essential oils cannot completely prevent infection, but can reduce the symptoms and effects of infection.
Most essential oils have antibacterial properties, which vary according to the plant species.
