Summary in the original language of the document
The use of essential oils successfully contributes to the healing of mastitis. They can also be used preventively against mild mastitis. Compared to antibiotics, essential oils have a lower ecological impact and are less expensive (8€ for essential oils /18 € for antibiotics – for one treatment). Regarding labour impact, treatments with essential oils increase working time, from 2 days with antibiotics to 7 with essential oils.
Summary translation
Die Verwendung von ätherischen Ölen trägt erfolgreich zur Heilung von Mastitis bei. Sie können auch präventiv gegen
leichte Mastitis eingesetzt werden. Im Vergleich zu Antibiotika haben ätherische Öle geringere ökologische Auswirkungen und sind günstiger (8 € für ätherische Öle/ 18 € für Antibiotika - für eine Behandlung). Was die Auswirkungen auf die Arbeit betrifft, so verlängert die Behandlung mit ätherischen Ölen die Arbeitszeit von 2 Tagen bei Antibiotika auf 7 Tage bei ätherischen Ölen.
