Five Essential Oils Better Than Many Antibiotics
The following essential oils tested BETTER than many antibiotics (antibacterial properties against Streptococcus pyogenes)
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum)
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus)
Marjoram (Origanum marjorana)
Winter Savory (Satureja montana)
The zone of inhibition for these five essential oils with the most antibiotic potential ranged from 48 to 35 millimeters. The greater the zone of inhibition, the stronger the antibiotic potency.
How that compares with antibiotics?
Zones of inhibition against Streptococcus pyogenes of Amoxicillin was 22.3 mm, Ampicillin 34.5 mm, Ampiciox 18.7 mm. Moreover, many of these pharmaceutical antibiotics have lost some of their antibiotic potency against Streptococcus pyogenes and other bacteria.
This compares to zones of inhibition between 48 mm and 35 mm for the Cinnamon oil, the Thyme oil, the Lemongrass oil, the Marjoram oil, and the Winter Savory oil. These results are better than many antibiotics.
