Some Essential Oil Alternative To The OTC Medicines

By Eric Wood


Ever since, the naturally made essential oils are use already by most people for healing and as well for treating most physical ailments and mental ailments. The components are not toxic since these are natural substances, thus, can be easily eliminated away from a body. And those prescription or the over the counter drugs contain synthetic substances that the bodies cannot metabolize and eliminate.

And since the organs are not capable of breaking down the compounds, it may possibly end up into the waste areas like fatty tissues or even the persons brain. This is because those synthetic toxins are going to pass through the liver, spleen, and kidneys. And the critical problem here is when these toxins are already attached to the tissues, and thus, causes the disruption of the normal functions of the body. The following are the most common ailments which may be treated using essential oil alternative rather than OTC medicines.

First is for colds, coughs, congestion, allergies, and sinusitis treatment. The essential oils like the eucalyptus and the peppermint have decongestant, antiviral, and expectorant qualities. For relieving a sinus congestion, inhaling the angelica, thyme, camphor, bay, myrrh, and spruce is very useful. An essential oil like laurel leaf helps boost respiratory system and build up immune system, and thus, strengthens the resistance of body to viruses.
