What You Need to Know: This Winter Fruit Can Save Lives, Especially When Used as Essential Oil

Mandarins are a winter fruit that research 'crowns' as having life-saving properties, and for good reason.

Besides the variety of vitamins and wonderful substances it contains, researchers claim it has the ability to stop what is medically referred to as 'sepsis' (in English: Sepsis).

Sepsis is a condition defined by medicine as deadly and life-threatening, and in the U.S., it is considered the leading cause of death among patients hospitalized in intensive care. Most individuals in whom sepsis erupts are the elderly, people with weakened immune systems, and critically ill patients.

Sepsis is the immune system's response to a severe infection that attacks tissue cells or the bloodstream (a condition known as blood poisoning), and its symptoms include, among others, fever, decreased urination, systemic inflammation, vascular system dysfunction, and more.

Essential oil derived from mandarins contains components that kill these bacteria

In his blog 'Organic Facts', he presents essential oil extracted from mandarins and writes that mandarins and mandarin oranges are identical in their capabilities, and from both, this oil is extracted.

"Mandarin essential oil is extracted by cold pressing its peels, which contain vital substances like alpha, gamma-terpinene, limonene, and more. In Chinese culture, mandarins are considered excellent natural remedies that not only help prevent sepsis but also minimize the damage it causes when it does appear. "

"Staphylococcus Aureus is the species of bacteria responsible for one of the infections that doctors suspect as sepsis," Patil writes in his article. "Sepsis is a very bad condition. It not only causes wounds and swelling to appear but also extreme pain. If not treated in time, it can quickly spread to other parts of the body and affect them - even if there are no wounds in them. It can also cause joint stiffness, severe muscle contractions, swelling, fever, convulsions, and more. Mandarin essential oil contains components that kill these bacteria and stop their impact in the body, and even aid in healing sepsis," concludes Patil.

According to him, consuming mandarins every winter is beneficial for preventing this condition.

Dr. Mercola, a popular figure, also frequently praises this oil in his bestseller frequently discussed in the 'New York Times', writing that it has the power to purify the bloodstream of any infection spreading within it.
