Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a composition for space sterilization which can be applied as an antimicrobial fragrance having antibacterial effects on various microorganisms present in the air by volatilization rather than contact sterilization.
Essential oil (Essential Oil) is the basic substance of aromatherapy and refers to volatile essential oil (Volatile Oil) extracted from the stems, roots, fruits, and bark of aromatic plants (Herb).
Essential oils are excellent for sterilization, disinfection and deodorization, so they can be used in various ways at home. For example, lavender, peppermint, rosemary, lemon, tea tree and eucalyptus essential oils have a deodorizing or deodorizing effect.
Avoid oils such as eucalyptus, lemon, geranium, lemongrass, and lavender when you want to stay away from pests, especially mosquitoes and flies, in the summer, and to avoid insects and mosquitoes when camping outdoors.
Protein essential oils have strong antibacterial properties, help blood circulation and increase immunity. In addition, house dust mite, one of the main causes of atopy, has an excellent effect of repelling mites and neutralizes volatile organic compounds that cause sick house syndrome. Greatly relieves many itching of atopic or allergic diseases. It also has excellent deodorizing effect, which relieves sick house syndrome and makes indoor air comfortable.
