Essential Oils are antifungal, antibacteral, anti-viral, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory. They don't need the validation of your retarded meme:
Here's some science for you:

...so how is it that you aren't using your 'oils' to help treat those who are affected like Lorenzo Odone?
Yet, it was a biochemist here in Hull - Don Suddaby - who did via his edible oil .
They just smell nice, which is nice. Back when people thought washing made you weak or even sick, and when it was fairly usual to just squat down and do your business wherever you were, at least among “ordinary” people, and most people had a mouth full of rotting teeth, the Nice-Smelling Element must have been VERY nice.
Nice tactic, using a review paper as ‘proof’ that ultimately only states alleged positive results of studies on the topic, without telling us anything about the methodology of the studies, the potential discussions and counterarguments against these results and only mentions at the end that we don’t even know much about the toxicity of essential oils. This is pretty much a scientific gish gallop, since no one has time to look into every single of the cited studies to counter your claim.
Some effective treatments have come from plants, venom, not forgetting mould.
However following the link, this would appear to be the meme objected to.

So good luck with lavender oil

Oils may have those properties but they don’t do what vaccines do, you nincompoop.
Okay; Here’s how a vaccine works…
A vaccine is a tiny amount of the disease it is fighting! However; It is dead so it won’t get you sick. The body, however, will still see it as an intruder and fight it, creating a natural immunity to the virus. A vaccine is preventative and won’t cure the illness in question if you already have it.
As for viruses that require antibiotics; Essential oils will only work externally. You can apply to skin and surfaces but you can’t consume the stuff and even the stuff that is consumable won’t do the job like a good antibiotic drug would.
…Alternative Medicine should NOT replace Modern Medicine. Alternative Medicine should always be within the context of Complementary Medicine and some forms of Alt-Med are straight-up bogus snake-oil crapola!
A lot of Alt-Med and Nutrition-based stuff are good as PREVENTATIVE measures to LOWER THE CHANCES of getting or dying from something but it won’t always work.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
