Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Is it just me or the 'effective' oils are NOT mentioned by name? :-) Dedy From: JULIE GRIFFITHS <<... Essential oils normally used in aromatherapy could be used to kill deadly MRSA bacteria, scientists have said... In tests carried out at the University of Manchester, three essential oils killed MRSA and e.coli bacteria within two minutes of contact... The researchers tested 40 essential oils against ten of the most deadly bacteria and fungi. Two of the oils killed MRSA and e.coli almost instantly, while a third was found to act over a longer period of time... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/thehealthnews.html?in_arti\ cle_id=331649 & in_page_id=1797 >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Don't know if these are the abstracts for this article http://www.usc.edu/CSSF/History/2003/Projects/S13.pdf They're California Science Fair experiments, probably high schoolers. 3 oils listed in 2nd abstract. Another tests antibiotics on e coli, another MRSA is found in hospital patients.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Thanks Wanita, Looks like clove oil was the best performer in that particular experiment... [2nd abstract]... next best was pine... surprised they haven't tried tea tree oil and lavender... both reputedly are excellent antiseptic oils.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Looks like this girl was going on kitchen or grandma remedies in oil concentrations rather than the newer. Tea tree and lavender were my thoughts too. Wanita > Looks like clove oil was the best performer in that particular > experiment...
