Another natural antibiotic is oil of oregano.

Oregano Oil is a very versatile herb, which is not only a strong antifungal but also provides many other health benefits and it treats many types of disease and symptoms. As an antifungal it is extremely effective, just like raw crushed garlic.

Answer 5

I reckon garlic is a medicinal wonder. When I get a bad cold, or the flu, I crush a clove and tape it to the instep of one foot with 2 bandaids, one across the other like a cross. (First smear any sort of oil on the skin, or else you'll get a burn like a bad sunburn by the morning.)

Then go to bed, sleep it off, and by morning you'll be feeling 100% better, I guarantee it. Something to do with boosting your immune system to fight off the bug, apparently.

Warning: Your bedroom will reek of garlic, it will need a really good airing out. Or else sleep in someone else's bedroom. :)
