As I have been trying to become as healthy as possible and try to utilize as many items found in nature prior to reverting to chemicals, I find myself in the middle of cold and flu season.
While one of my kids is a strep carrier and our house is always bombarded with sickness coming in from daycare and school it seems that I am always vulnerable as an athlete. A few days ago I started to feel a little itchy in my throat. I right away ran out to my local health food store and picked up some Oil of Oregano after I heard it is good for this type of thing. I will admit I was a little hesitant to dish out money for what could be "snake oil".
I took it for a few days and now I am feeling fine. I believe I have dodged an illness, because right now my entire family are getting over their coughing which has lasted the entire time. Point goes to Oil of Oregano this time.
I have an engineering degree and grew up in a household where my dad was an ER doctor. An oil to stave off an illness? Not possible.
I continue to find out that the food that we ingest will change your for the better as long as you put the best possible food into you.
