Effects of Myrtle Essential Oil
on Uncomplicated Sinus Infection
Originally published in German, January 1997
This double-blind study was designed to demonstrate the
importance of allowing drainage of the sinuses as a therapeutic
concept.
A study was begun with 331 patients who had acute sinusitis.
291 patients remained with the study. The study was conducted in
16 centers during a 14 day observation period.
The patients were treated for 6 +/- 2 days with Myrtle
Essential Oil, another unnamed Essential Oils or with a placebo.
The results of the study showed that both the Myrtle and other
Essential Oil were significantly superior to the placebo.
In conclusion:
The results of this double-blind study support the value of
Essential Oils like Myrtle as an effective treatment in acute
uncomplicated sinus infection instead of antibiotics as a first
choice.
From The Publisher:
The majority of essential oils produced in America are NOT
of therapeutic grade quality. There are many reasons for this,
but mostly it boils down to offering a product at a price that
the public will buy. Use caution when purchasing essential oils;
the use of the word "pure" does not guarantee purity.
EOO endorses Young Living Essential Oils, Inc. as the only
major, reliable source of therapeutic grade Essential Oils commercially
available. Their stringent production methods are unmatched in
the industry.
Starting with the soil, Young Living farms only organically
grown plants, free of any chemicals that otherwise would destroy
the delicate plant oil constituents. This insistence on working
with nature all through the production process is just one reason
why Young Living Essential Oils has broken the mold of what has
been accepted as the "standard" of an essential oil.
Years of soil nutrient depletion can adversely impact the
delicate complex chemistry of essential oils. Young Living Herb
Farms understands this, as well as the importance of employing
organic farming techniques to achieve the highest quality of oils.
Their development of very high standards in herb cultivation has set
a new bench mark in the science and art of essential oil production.
They hold an uncompromising commitment to product purity.
We invite you to compare Young Living's essential oils to
discover the difference.
