Ingredients and Their Antiviral Properties

Clove Bud (Syzygium aromaticum)

Active Components: Eugenol

Mechanism: Eugenol exhibits potent antiviral activity by inhibiting viral replication and disrupting viral envelopes. It also has strong antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Benefits: Protects against viral infections, reduces inflammation, and supports immune function.

Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamomum verum)

Active Components: Cinnamaldehyde

Mechanism: Cinnamaldehyde has been shown to have strong antiviral activity by interfering with viral RNA synthesis and inhibiting viral replication. It also possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Benefits: Fights off viral infections, enhances immune response, and provides antimicrobial protection.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)

Active Components: 1,8-Cineole, alpha-pinene

Mechanism: Rosemary essential oil has antiviral effects, particularly against respiratory viruses, by disrupting viral lipid membranes and inhibiting viral replication. It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Benefits: Supports respiratory health, reduces viral load, and boosts immune defenses.

Oregano (Origanum vulgare)

Active Components: Carvacrol, thymol

Mechanism: Carvacrol and thymol have potent antiviral and antimicrobial properties. They work by disrupting viral envelopes and inhibiting viral replication. These compounds also stimulate the immune system.

Benefits: Protects against viral and bacterial infections, enhances immune function, and reduces inflammation.

Red Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)

Active Components: Thymol, carvacrol

Mechanism: Thymol and carvacrol are powerful antiviral agents that disrupt viral membranes and inhibit the growth of viruses. They also have strong antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Benefits: Provides robust antiviral protection, supports respiratory health, and boosts the immune system.

Lemon Peel (Citrus limon)

Active Components: Limonene

Mechanism: Limonene has antiviral properties that work by breaking down viral membranes and inhibiting viral replication. It also has antioxidant and immune-stimulating effects.

Benefits: Enhances immune response, provides antiviral protection, and supports respiratory health.

 Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis)

Active Components: Limonene

Mechanism: Similar to lemon peel, limonene in sweet orange oil disrupts viral membranes and inhibits viral replication. It also provides uplifting and stress-relieving effects, which support overall well-being.

Benefits: Offers antiviral protection, boosts mood, and enhances immune function.

Peppermint (Mentha piperita)

Active Components: Menthol, menthone

Mechanism: Menthol exhibits antiviral activity by disrupting viral envelopes and inhibiting viral replication. Peppermint oil also has anti-inflammatory and decongestant properties, making it beneficial for respiratory health.

Benefits: Reduces viral infections, relieves respiratory congestion, and enhances immune function.

Eucalyptus Globulus (Eucalyptus globulus)

Active Components: 1,8-Cineole

Mechanism: 1,8-Cineole has potent antiviral effects, particularly against respiratory viruses. It works by disrupting viral lipid membranes and reducing viral load. Eucalyptus oil also has strong decongestant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Benefits: Supports respiratory health, provides antiviral protection, and reduces inflammation.
