Good wound dressings are critical to preventing severe infections after an injury. Recent research has confirmed that applying antiseptic essential oils makes for a great alternative to antibiotic creams and other dressings, which often produce antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.
The first study, from the Polytechnical University of Bucharest, tested surgical wound bandages supplied by a German wound dressing provider with biofilms of Candida albicans.
The researchers grew the biofilms and applied them to wound bandages that were either coated with essential oils from Salvia officinalis (Sage) and Anethum graveolens (Dill) or a conventional antiseptic dressing.
The essential oils provided significant inhibition against the Candida fungi.
The Anethum graveolens essential oil was found to contain antimicrobial compounds such as limonene, carvone and phellandrene, while Salvia officinalis was found the contain thujone, eucalyptol, pinene and camphene. These compounds have each been independently tested in other studies and found to have significant antimicrobial potency.
Another recent study also found essential oils provide a superior antimicrobial activity when applied with wound dressings. Polish university researchers utilized a formula of four essential oils, and found they significantly inhibited the growth of both Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans.
