Antibiotic Herbs

There are many, completely natural herbs which are antibiotics. These herbs are very useful to know about, and keep on hand in your medicine cabinet at home. Most herbal antibiotics are extremely useful for dealing with almost any kind of infection or sickness. They are very inexpensive though, and the gelcap supplements can be stored for a year or more at room temperature.

Garlic is one of the most powerful antibiotic herbs which you should always have on hand. Garlic can be purchased in gelcap or liquid form for easy medicinal use, and fresh raw garlic can be used easily too. Garlic contains a natural compound known as Allicin, which is more powerful than standard Penicillin.

Garlic does an excellent job of fighting infections both inside and out. It can be used by mouth for fighting bacterial infections inside your body such as a throat infection, ear infection, sinus infection, kidney infection, bladder infection and more.

Garlic can also be used on the outside of your body, as an external topical application. This does an excellent job of killing fungus infections such as athlete’s foot, vaginal yeast infections, and oral thrush. Garlic is also an effective treatment against staphylococcus and E. coli bacteria.

Golden seal is another very powerful natural antibiotic herb which works wonderfully for fighting almost any kind of infection. Golden Seal is usually used internally for throat, sinus, and ear infections. It’s also excellent for any other infections including kidney, bladder and yeast.

Unlike garlic, putting Golden Seal on a yeast or fungus infection externally doesn’t normally kill the infection, but it can help prevent infections in cuts and scrapes. This herb produces the best infection fighting and bacteria killing results when taken by mouth.

Echinacea is another excellent antibiotic herb which is particularly useful for glandular infections and problems. Echinacea is most often used for ear aches, strep throat and lymph gland problems. This herb is also great for helping to prevent colds and flu symptoms from becoming too severe, plus it shortens the length of suffering time during cold and flu season.

Kelp is an herb not commonly thought of as an antibiotic, but it acts as one in your body because it stimulates your thyroid, and helps it to produce more iodine. Iodine kills bad bacteria that causes sickness inside your body.

Kelp is quite useful against strep throat when used in tea form. Since this herb is high in natural iodine itself, drinking it in tea form will coat the throat, allowing the iodine to kill the strep bacteria.
