Are there any herbs, vitamins or minerals that have antibiotic properties?

Question

Larch trees make me think of Monty Python.

Answer 1

For chest infection, Wild Thyme. For tonsils or adrenal glands, Poke Root. For Cystitis (bladder), Buchu. For inner ear, Echinacea. For sore throat, Myrrh. For skin and soft tissue, Blue Flag Root. For eyes or stomach, Golden Seal Root. There are lots of others. Garlic is one that's well known.

Zinc is a mineral that helps boost the body's immunity. And Silver (colloidal) kills germs topically and internally.

Almost every (maybe all) essential oil is a topical antibiotic. Internally, oregano oil is used (very diluted).

Answer 2

Dont forget Honey!

One type of Honey can even kill MRSA.

Answer 3

That might not be a good thing.  Overuse of antibiotics when not needed is what eventually breeds resistant strains.

Answer 4

Vita-C is nature's antibiotic...fights infection and builds resistance against disease.  C is the anti-stress vitamin + it builds collagen (the cement that holds the cells together, preventing sagging skin, bruising, bleeding gums, nosebleeds, etc.)

Defend & Resist Complex is also nature's natural antibiotic...contains echinacea, zinc, black elderberry and larch tree.  Promotes production of white blood cells & activates immune system.

Garlic Complex is a natural antibiotic/anti-inflammatory.

Answer 5

Wild oregano oil is very good, one experiment was that they put the oil on some raw sewage, it killed everything. It is not only antibiotic, but antiviral, anti-parasitical, and anti-fungal.  Olive leaf extract is also a good broad spectrum herb. That is what was used in the 1800's against malaria. Mushrooms are said to increase white blood cells to booster the immune system and astralagus also helps.  ....Natural anti-fungals don't create super germs the way synthetic antibiotics do.......

Answer 6

Garlic is said to be nature's penicillin.

Echinacea is said to be a wonderful detoxifier.

The person to ask is an herbalist.

Good luck
