As the corona settles into everyday life, there is a lot of interest in strengthening immunity. In particular, it is difficult to check the level of immunity for each individual in advance, so after a disease occurs, the importance of immunity is realized late.

Immunity is the root of all disease. In particular, in the case of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, and arthritis, among diseases caused by a weak immune system, the incidence rate is four times higher in women than in men. It is known to be caused by lifestyle, hormones and stress.

In addition, vaginitis, which is common among women, has a high recurrence rate, and vaginitis is also deeply related to immunity. In addition to candida vaginitis and bacterial vaginosis along with itching and lumps of secretion, stress is also identified as the underlying cause of most vaginitis, including atrophic vaginitis which often occurs in postmenopausal and postmenopausal women. Above all, frequent recurrences are not only uncomfortable, but can also cause inflammation in the uterus, pelvis and ovaries, so they need to be prevented.

To know your immunity status, it is good to visit a hospital and get tested, but there is also a way to check yourself beforehand. For example, you can reflect on your usual condition, such as fatigue that does not go well, frequent colds, or wounds that do not heal well. If you have three or more of these symptoms, you should suspect a weakened immune system.

If you have confirmed that your immunity is decreasing through self-diagnosis of immunity, you can think about treatment in three main ways. Firstly, it is a method of ingesting pills, which are edible medicines. In general, it is possible to treat for about 3 months by taking once for 10 days and then taking a break for 20 days.

Next, there is an intramuscular injection treatment method. This is a method of injecting the synthetic peptide components of thymus extract once or twice a week for about 2 to 4 weeks. Intravenous injection and infusion treatment may also be considered. This is a method of injecting high concentration minerals and nutrients once or twice a week for about 2 to 4 weeks.

Immunity is the energy that can check the basics of my body. In today’s environment where we are exposed to various diseases, from colds to viruses like corona, the most active way to prevent diseases is to strengthen immunity. It is necessary to check your immune status regularly and find the right treatment method.
