Antiviral Activities of Eucalyptus Essential Oils: Their Effectiveness as Therapeutic Targets against Human Viruses

Daniel Mieres-Castro et al.

Summary: Eucalyptus essential oil has emerged as an antiviral alternative for infectious diseases caused by viruses, showing potential in preventing and treating viral infections. The main molecular mechanisms involve direct inactivation by monoterpenes. Additionally, the coadministration of essential oil with vaccines can enhance protection against different viruses, along with serving as a complementary treatment for viral symptoms.
