Depending on the type and severity, pneumonia needs to be treated with antibiotics, if it is bacterial or with rest and plenty of fluids if it is viral.
Most commonly, aromatherapy may help to ease the symptoms of pneumonia. Most recommended essential oils are eucalyptus, pine, lavender, mint, and tea tree, in a form of steam inhalations or gently rubbed in the patientÂ’s back and chest.
