Antiviral Aromatherapy: essential oils for health & wellbeing

Maggie Tisserand's seventh book on the subject of aromatherapy - this time, with an emphasis on antiviral essential oils that could act as a preventative measure to stay Covid-free, can be mixed with jojoba oil (or other nut/seed oils) to be rubbed into the throat and chest at the first signs of infection, and finally, ways to treat many of the symptoms of long Covid.
Antiviral Aromatherapy is a book in four parts.PART 1. Anecdotal accounts of viral illnesses being successfully treated with essential oils, including a description of how Maggie's fifteen-month-old son survived a severe viral infection after hospital doctors said 'we have nothing to help him survive'. This section also describes a successful trial with fifty nurses from a UK hospital who were given a back and neck massage with a blend of essential oils, once a week for eight weeks. Brief testimonials of their health improvements were recorded, and these details are included.
PART 2. An overview on using essential oils and how to do so safely and effectively; when to use them on the skin and when to only use them in vapour form. Basic information on distillation - the process of how one hundred kilos of the lavender plant ends up as a 1-kilo bottle of lavender essential oil. The importance of using these powerful essential oils with respect and why they always need to be diluted before use. In this section, Maggie lists 21 antiviral essential oils that are safe to use, inexpensive to purchase, and easily found in high street stores as well as on the internet. Long Covid is becoming very common and Maggie suggests ways to treat the symptoms of long Covid.
PART 3. Is all about the immune system and why it matters. The acquired immune system and the innate immune system and how they protect us; what damages our immune systems and how essential oils work in tandem. Maggie details the difference between the time it takes for the replication of bacteria and the replication of viruses, making it clearly understandable why a virus can quickly disarm the immune system, oftentimes leading to death within days. This is a subject that should be taught in schools, yet isn't, and Maggie feels it is sad to see that in a time of viral pandemic, we seem to know more about the solar system than we do about our immune system. Here is the information needed to redress that lack of information, and written in a simple way to make it useable.
PART 4. Is dedicated to providing the antiviral research results of certain essential oils - as not all essential oils are antiviral - compiled from dozens of international university trials with essential oils and viruses. proving beyond doubt, that several essential oils are antiviral. Twenty-eight research papers underpin Maggie's list of twenty-one antiviral essential oils (in PART2). In the final section, Maggie is proud to present details of university MEMBRANE DISRUPTION RESEARCH that describes why and how certain essential oils are able to kill viruses. This information is breaking news.\nAntiviral Aromatherapy has something for everyone and, priced at £9.75, less than the cost of a small pizza for the paperback version, and less than half that price for the e-book. Maggie's intention is to ensure affordability for everyone as we all need to learn to 'living with the virus'.
