(Continued yesterday) In December 2004, researchers from the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom found that three natural essential oils are effective against "super bacteria" against penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (RSA) and E. coli.

There are five genotypes of Staphylococcus aureus, some of which help cells develop resistance, and some can destroy white blood cells in the human body and destroy human tissues. Researchers at the University of Manchester tested 40 natural essential oils to cope with the ten common bacteria and viruses in hospitals, including the super-bacterial anti-penicillin Staphylococcus aureus that causes severe death each year. It was found that the combination of two natural essential oils immediately killed the anti-penicillin Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in a laboratory environment. The combination was Geranium oil and Tea tree oil; another combination It is geranium and grapefruit seed extract (Citricidal), this combination can also kill the bacteria, but it takes a long time.

How to use a combination of these natural essential oils? This is generally the case.. At any time, sniffing, taking a deep breath for 10 times to inhale the fragrance, or rubbing the wrist, behind the ear, the temple, the bottom of the skull, etc., or using a sesame oil furnace to distribute. It is also advisable to mix natural essential oils in cleaning products such as soaps and shampoos, but the exact method is not known.

Inhalation therapy is also mentioned in the report. Researchers believe that the current use of disinfectant into the patient's nasal cavity, the success rate is only half, but deep breathing and smelling natural oil combination may increase the success rate, and the patient's acceptance is higher than chemical disinfectant.

MRSA is widely distributed in air, soil, and water. People and animals have a high rate of infection, and in the past it only caused infection in wounds. High-risk groups of community MRSA infections include: children in kindergartens, infirm, drug injectors, athletes with physical contact, and men who have sex with men.

Prevention methods: First, pay attention to hand hygiene, wash hands frequently, wear masks; Second, the public and doctors should pay attention to the appropriate use of antibiotics; Third, early diagnosis, if necessary, to isolate. During the flu season, double your vigilance against MRSA!
