I HAVE contacted a few newspapers both national and local in the hope that they may run an an article but so far I don’t think any have done so.
While no-one knows whether this virus may be susceptible to eucalyptus and tea tree oil surely it’s something worth trying as the virus does start in the nose.
I personally think diffusers wouldn’t be powerful enough but inhaled directly they might work.
I know there are many fake cures flying around but at least some research has been done into the antiviral effects of tea tree oil and eucalyptus. See https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021850213000086
Olbas oil contains eucalyptus oil and does seem quite strong.
I have been inhaling it whenever I go out and as soon as I get home.
