While as we approach nearer the exact Virgo Full Moon, and on the day, as well as shortly after (until the waning quarter moon) you’ll get to see some of the real, tangible results possible from such...

A broad systemic review of 166 studies on medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) was conducted. The review was entitled, “Antimicrobial Properties of Plant Essential Oils against Human Pathogens and Their Mode of Action.” The review assessed the results of the studies of, “Essential oils, extracted from various MAPs, [for their] strong antimicrobial activity against various bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens.” The review concluded that the primary mechanism of action of, “Essential oils against pathogens may be in [their] ability to disrupt the cell membrane of the targeted pathogens by increasing membrane permeability, inducing leakage of vital intracellular constituents, and interrupting the cellular metabolism and enzyme kinetics of the targeted pathogens.” This ‘disruptive’ activity by essential oils upon pathogens results in...

Five aromatic constituents of essential oils (cineole, citral, geraniol, linalool and menthol) were tested against twelve fungi (three yeast-like and nine filamentous). The citral and geraniol oils were the most effective (inhibiting all twelve fungi), followed by linalool (inhibiting ten fungi), cineole and menthol (each of which inhibited seven fungi) compounds. Both the citral and geraniol containing oils are classified as aldehydes - the cleaners of aromatherapy. Citral (inhibits 12 fungi) is an aroma compound used frequently in the perfume industry for its citrus effect. It’s also used as a food flavor and  to fortify the effects of lemon oil. Additional to Citral’s potent anti fungal qualities, it is frequently used as an insecticide. It is also a great fat burner and excellent...
