I am interested if anyone , especially with biology/medical background, could give an opinion on this, or suggest other research to shed light on this discussion. Of course, the 2019 novel coronavirus may be different than past coronavirus treatment,please share knowledge here.
Below is an small portion of research that claims essential oils were effective against coronavirus:

Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents—Myth or Real Alternative?
Katarzyna Wińska, Wanda Mączka, and Antoni Szumny
2.8.3. Antimicrobial Activity of Sage Oil The use of sage EO in phytopharmacy has recently been described in two review articles [9,103]. Both the plant raw material as well as the extracts and EO obtained from sage are used as herbal medicines with mainly sanitization and antiseptic effects. EO of Salvia officinalis was active against severe acute respiratory coronavirus SARS-CoV (RNA virus), which was obtained from the sputum of a patient hospitalized with a diagnosis of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) in Frankfurt University Hospital. It is worth noting that the overriding clinical feature of SARS is the rapidity with which many patients develop symptoms of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Essential oil was weakly active at IC50 = 870 mg/ mL [112].
