The results showed the highest levels of immune factors relating to the percentage of phagocytosis and the number and rate of crime phagosite Igm three essential oils of M. longifolia, S. khuzestanica, and D. multicaule. Lymphocytes in the blood and blood heterophile between yourself and the control diet containing the essential oil of Satureja bachtiarica significant difference (p≤0.05) was observed.
