Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study compared the efficacy of spray containing aromatic essential oils of Eucalyptus citriodora, Eucalyptus globulus, Mentha piperita, Origanum syriacum, and Rosmarinus Officinalis, against placebo in the treatment of patients with acute viral Pharyngo-tonsillitis.

In- vitro and clinical studies suggest therapeutic potential of aromatic herbs and trees oils in the treatment of Pharyngo-Tonsillitis. The pharmacological and clinical activity of Eucalyptus citriodora, Eucalyptus globulus, Mentha piperita, Origanum syriacum, and Rosmarinus Officinalis, include anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral activities. Some of these herbs and trees oils have direct activity on the respiratory tract, the coughing reflex and the airflow in the nasal tract.
