Nowadays, almost all people take the hospital antibiotics as “medicines”. But, they do pretty much harm to people’s body. Namely, they ruin the digestive system and lower the natural immunity of the body to all kinds of infections that will follow in the future. Nobody expects that from medicines, right? Still, what if we told you that there are some natural remedies that can help you get rid of the infections without ruining the digestive system? Here are the five most potent natural antibiotics.
Garlic
Garlic has been used as a medicine in numerous cultures throughout the world for many, many years. It was even used for warding off plague in the eighteenth century.
Garlic has very powerful antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral and antimicrobial features and is very helpful when it comes to protecting from and eliminating unfriendly bacteria. Garlic is also abundant in natural antioxidants that are very beneficial for getting rid of the free radicals and improve, support and strengthen the immunity.
The major active ingredient of garlic is the allicin. This substance is essential when it comes to killing and warding off unfriendly, harmful bacteria. In order to activate these compounds, crush the garlic and eat it raw, which is the best way of consuming it. However, you can also consume it in a warm tea or add it to a lightly cooked food.
Colloidal Silver
The colloidal silver has also been used as an efficient antibiotic for hundreds of years. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Alfred Searle, the founder of the Searle pharmaceutical company, has found out that colloidal silver is able to kill off the most of the deadly pathogens.
Searle claimed that if one applies colloidal silver to human subject, which has been done in a plenty of cases, they will get amazing results. The greatest benefit of this substance is that it is quickly lethal to microbes and it has not any toxic effects on their host.
The newer studies have also confirmed that colloidal silver is able to destroy microbes that are otherwise antibiotic resistant, such as MRSA, SARS, and the bird flu.
Oregano Oil
Oregano oil is powerful enough to kill off the pathogenic bacteria without disruption of the beneficial, good bacteria. It has also antifungal and antiviral properties and this is what makes it a potent three-in-one combination that can stand on the same level as the rival pharmaceuticals, without encouraging antibiotic resistance.
The fundamental antimicrobial ingredient in oregano oil is the carvacrol. When buying oregano oil, make sure that it contains at least seventy percent carvacrol, because the less carvacrol it contains, the less efficient it is.
Echinacea
Echinacea has been used since long ago for treating a wide variety of infections. It has been used in the traditional medicine for treating open wounds, blood poisoning, diphtheria and other illnesses based on bacteria.
Even nowadays this powerful herb is widely used, and mostly for flu or colds, due to its power to destroy the most dangerous types of bacteria including staphylococcus aureus, known to be extremely dangerous and to cause the fatal MRSA disease.
Manuka Honey
This is the natural antibiotic that has the best taste. It comes in the form of manuka honey. When applied topically, it fights a wide range of pathogens, such as MRSA and bacteria that eat flesh. It has also been proven that the bacteria that have been exposed to manuka honey do not build up any resistance to it, so it does not eventually becomes inefficient.
This is only a short list of nature’s most powerful antibiotics, but there are much more that should be put on this list. This is only a start, which is extremely beneficial and useful. Take advantage of nature’s pharmacy. Additionally, consider also olive leaf extract, turmeric, pau d’arco, reishi, cloves, una de gato and even lemons as one of the most powerful soldiers in the antibiotic arsenal.
