My life went into overdrive mode when I started working. It seemed like my hours were always consumed at work. I landed a very demanding job and I had to spend most of my hours catching up with the endless tasks and almost impossible deadlines. My health started to suffer as I was getting little rest and relying too much on caffeine to keep myself awake.
There was a point that I needed to get myself checked in the hospital almost every week for all sorts of infections. I would get colds, fever, or sore throat alternately. The doctors asked about my work and advised me that too much stress may be causing my illnesses. I was advised that stress may be weakening my immune system which was the reason I was often getting sick.
Our body has a natural defense against harmful invaders such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc. This is called our immune system. Naturally, you will find these harmful microorganisms in the environment and once we get in contact with these microbes our immune system takes on the defense and fight away these invaders that would make us sick. If your immune system is stronger than the invaders, you will be saved from falling ill.
I knew that my job because of its high demands is causing my immune system to weaken. I went online one day to research on how I can improve and make my immune system stronger without finding another job. The wild oregano oil came up in the list of answers. If my dishes benefit from the distinct taste of aroma and taste, would my health get benefits as well? I read on to get more information.
There is another kind of oregano known as the wild oregano plant. This plant is not valued for its culinary delight but is treasured for its medicinal value. The essential oils from the wild oregano leaves are extracted which we now call as wild oregano oil. This oil contains two key compounds which are Carvacrol and Thymol that effectively fight off harmful microorganisms that bring diseases and infections to humans.
The wild oregano oil has been used by the ancient Greeks for medicinal purposes. It has been recognized to have anti viral, antibacterial, antifungal, anti parasitic properties. This just goes to show that the wild oregano oil is a wide spectrum antibiotic.
The best benefit that I could get from the wild oregano oil is its ability to make our immune system stronger. This means that in making our defense stronger against the harmful microorganisms we come in contact with everyday. The disease or infection is prevented since these harmful invaders are destroyed before they do any damage to our healthy cells.
Ever since I started adding a drop or two of the wild oregano oil to my favorite juice, I noticed that I had lesser and lesser time getting sick. My trips to the doctor were cut down as my immune system became stronger and my body was able to defeat the harmful microorganisms that pose a threat in my well being. I recommend that if you find the taste of the wild oregano oil too strong for you, you can mix your daily drop or two with your favorite drink.
Your everyday work and tight schedule can wear you out making you vulnerable to sickness. Include a drop or two of wild oregano oil in your meal or drink to boost your immune system.
