Did you know that there are natural antibiotics – herbs that fight infection and disease?

These natural antibiotics happen to be a better choice compared to typical antibiotics and we will show you how. There are many herbs and foods that can treat and prevent a large number of diseases naturally, without unwanted side effects.

We are going to inform you of five common herbs that can fight and prevent many common diseases naturally, so please keep reading.  

There will be times that prescribed antibiotics are life-savers, but if there are times when you have a choice, let me tell you about the major disadvantages of typical antibiotics.

When antibiotics are used regularly to fight diseases, many pathogens can become immune to them. The other negative effect of prescribed antibiotics is that they kill all bacteria, good or bad. We may also need to increase the dosage, or switch to a different antibiotic when our regular medicines don’t work anymore.

The most dangerous part of taking medicinal antibiotics is that the germs that we want to fight may become stronger and stronger with each dose of medicine. So, it’s vital that we understand the importance of fighting diseases naturally with natural herb-based antibiotics.

Five antibiotic herbs

OK, so here is a list of five herbs that are known for their potent antibiotic properties to fight bacterial and microbial infection. You may easily find these herbs at your local grocery store. Some of these herbs  might even be in your kitchen right now.

2. Ginger

An herbal tea brewed with ginger can also be quite soothing to a sore throat during the common cold and flu or viral attacks in the cold seasons.

Ginger’s ability to loosen and expel phlegm from the lungs makes it an ideal treatment in fighting several lungs diseases including asthma, acute and chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis. Ginger also releases accumulated phlegm from the respiratory system.

The little juniper berry, known for it’s distinctive piney flavor, is also known for it’s antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

Juniper berries are often used in European and Indian dishes to add spice. In ancient Greece, juniper berries were used as a remedy to fight disease.
