Do you believe essential oils can effectively kill bacteria and reduce stress at the same time (through aroma therapy)?
Yes, I see that a lot especially with people with old age.

Mostly the essential oils can counteract the microbes as well as stress simultaneously but not all essential oils . main exceptions are bad odoured ones.
