A high rate of use of these agents mixed with aromatic agents is observed around the world frequently during the day, a shortage is even reported. How efficient is that and how safe?
The structure of bacteria and virus are different, so antibacterial agents like antibiotics could not be used in viral infections. However, some natural products may have antibacterial and antiviral effect and were mentioned in the literature, ex: essential oils from aromatic plants.
Agree with Naïrouz Benzeggouta, the structure of a virus is more complex and replicates in a different way if compared to bacteria, thus the degradation or inhibition of the virus is hopeless using the antibiotics.
Medicinal plants used by indigenous people contain secondary metabolites that have healing effects. In some literature that I read, a few plants extract are very promising which consist of more than one biological effect such as antiviral, anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant agents. This is due to the synergistic effect of the miscellaneous bioactive compounds in plants. An exploration of novel antiviral natural products (safer, healing effects - infectious and chronic diseases) now and in the future will be very interesting.
Aromatic agents as volatile oil in herbs , spices or seasoning, sure act as antibacterial (as Anise or fennel oil). may increase the immunity to help the increase viral growth number or oriented virus to inhibit or encapsulate
