Scientific study reveals Mexican mint essential oil can treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Research has shown that the essential oil of Plectranthus amboinicus(PAEO), also known as Mexican mint, can potentially be used as an alternative treatment for certain antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. The study, published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, evaluated the effects of PAEO and its active ingredient carvacrol in Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. To make PAEO, researchers collected the leaves and … Continue reading Scientific study reveals Mexican mint essential oil can treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria
