Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed the chemical composition of essential oils from seven Lebanon plant species using GCMS and tested their antiviral effects against SARS-CoV and HSV1 in the lab.
  • Laurus nobilis oil showed significant activity against SARS-CoV, mainly due to compounds like beta-ocimene, 1,8-cineole, alpha-pinene, and beta-pinene, with strong selectivity.
  • Juniperus oxycedrus oil was effective against HSV1, mainly because of its alpha-pinene and beta-myrcene, although its selectivity was lower compared to Laurus nobilis.

@AntiAgify @dwmoskowitz Laurus nobilis essential oil has been proven to have an impact on sarscov1 (which share 80% of its genome with sarscov2!) I can testify. It (already) works on respiratory system, extremely powerful EO. https://t.co/NqWNj23hkd https://t.co/g6nEQ4Ucew

@GillesLerat @eglisecovid L'HE de laurier noble est intéressante car elle était efficace sur SARS-COV1: https://t.co/FpsE1Cnuk5 On peut en mettre sur les bronches avec une huile de noisette par exemple qui pénètre très bien la peau.
