However most essential oils have at least these properties
1. Antiseptic/antibacterial
2. Anti-viral (in vitro)
3. Anti fungal
Some few also (chamomile ) have granulation properties
Thsee properties make them useful medicines.

Many Oils too seem to have psycholocal benefits like calming
(lavender) or invigorating (Rosemary)

Some have been tested on disabled kids and memory to good effect

Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater just because of af ew
"over-the-top" claims.
(Often made by Shampoo manufacturers!)
