Another oil that will kill E. coli is Coriander oil. These oils do have a moderate amount of effect on bacteria and viruses, but I like them for their scent, mostly Lavender Rosemary Grapefruit Fir Pine Citrus Hope that helps! Wardeh,

I want to use more EOs in my household. Your list of useful EOs is extensive. If you were going to recommend a few - three to five, let's say - of the most useful and versatile - which should I get?
