Sore throat, difficulty swallowing and fever? You are probably one of the 9 million people who suffer from angina every year. This pathology is characterized by an acute inflammation of the throat. Whether the cause is viral or bacterial, essential oils can be very effective in relieving angina. The red angina (or erythematous), characterized by a redness and a swelling of the tonsils, is one of the most common types, in particular in the children. White angina can be distinguished by the presence of white spots on the tonsils, which are signs of infection. The anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of the essential oils can come to the end of an angina, whatever its color!

Niaouli is the essential oil of reference in case of angina. It has indeed powerful anti-infectious properties. The 1,8-cineole that it contains in majority (more than 50%) is active on many germs and its antiviral power is remarkable here because of its joint action with that of alpha terpineol. The Niaouli essential oil will therefore be perfectly adapted in case of viral angina.
But it has also been shown to have a specific action on the genus Streptococcus, the bacteria responsible for bacterial angina belonging to this group. The essential oil of Niaouli will therefore be equally effective in treating viral and bacterial angina.
The Fine Lavender essential oil brings important properties to the blend: it is analgesic and anti-inflammatory. The first of the two is attributed to linalool and linalyl acetate. These molecules have two modes of action. On the one hand, they will inhibit the transmission of certain nervous messages by intervening on the acetylcholine (which is a neurotransmitter). On the other hand, they will prevent the fixation of molecules at the level of certain cellular receptors, in particular the opiate receptors of the brain which have a role in the transmission of the sensation of pain. By these different ways, the typical sore throat of angina will be relieved.
The anti-inflammatory property results especially from the intervention of the linalyl acetate. The latter will prevent the release of molecules responsible for the inflammatory reaction (nitric oxide and prostaglandins).
The essential oil of Geranium Rosat has monoterpene alcohols with interesting effects for this synergy and not present in the two other essential oils. It is about the citronellol and the geraniol. These alcohols come to reinforce the action of Niaouli and the Fine Lavender. Indeed, these molecules have an anti-infectious power with broad spectrum. Added to the essential oil of Niaouli, they will make it possible to eradicate in a sure way the pathogenic agents responsible for the angina. Moreover, these molecules have an analgesic role, and in particular geraniol by an action on the receptors with the acetylcholine.
Finally, a monoterpene ester contained in Rosemary Geranium essential oil (citronellyl formate) is anti-inflammatory and comes here as a necessary complement to the action of Fine Lavender to effectively stop inflammation.
To ensure easy and unchanged passage of essential oils through the skin barrier, Argan vegetable oil will be the most suitable. Thanks to its strong affinity with the hydrolipidic barrier of the skin, Argan allows the active molecules of essential oils to penetrate the heart of the body, quickly, to quickly and effectively relieve the symptoms as well as the causes of your angina. Moreover, it is a very penetrating vegetable oil, which will not leave a greasy film on your skin.
