Oregano. Some believe that oregano boosts the immune system and acts as an antioxidant. It may have anti-inflammatory properties. While researchers have yet to verify these claims, some studies show that oregano is among the more effective natural antibiotics, particularly when it is made it into an oil.
Garlic. Research has identified properties in garlic that can be both antibacterial and help prevent infections. Garlic concentrate can destroy bacteria in test tubes, and is even effective against MRSA and C. albicans, two pathogens that are becoming increasingly resistant to conventional pharmaceutical treatments.
Antibiotics are medicines that help stop infections caused by bacteria. They do this by killing the bacteria or by keeping them from copying themselves or reproducing. The word antibiotic means “against life.” Any drug that kills germs in your body is technically an antibiotic.
Penicillin G is a natural penicillin that is produced directly from fermentation of Penicillium crysogenum. Penicillin V is a derivative of penicillin G and because of similarities in spectrum of activity, is considered a natural penicillin.
Other than a few topical over-the-counter (OTC) antibiotic ointments, there is no other legal way to obtain oral antibiotics. A primary care provider must prescribe your antibiotics for several reasons.
Neem. Neem leaf extracts and essential oil from seeds are known to have antimicrobial effect which may be beneficial in the infected wounds.
Echinacea has been used to treat infections for many years. Scientific reports state an extract of Echinacea purpurea can kill many different kinds of bacteria and may also fight inflammation associated with bacterial infection.
Apple cider vinegar has anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-septic and anti-fungal properties. This means that any ailment that comes from a bacterial, viral or fungal origin can be treated with apple cider vinegar.
It is a myth that bacteria are killed at temperatures below 40 degrees. In fact, bacteria growth is slowed, but not stopped. The only way to kill bacteria by temperature is by cooking food at temperatures of 165 degrees or more. Bacteria also die in highly acidic environments like pickle juice.
DO drink a lot of water, even if you're not thirsty. This will help flush out the bacteria.
Green tea is packed with antioxidants that have been shown to enhance immune system function. It also contains amino acids that may aid in the production of germ-fighting compounds in your T-cells, which reduces inflammation in the body and helps fight infection.
Antibacterial ointment
A person can treat a wound with several over-the-counter (OTC) antibacterial ointments, which can help prevent infections. They can also help a wound heal more quickly. One review of 27 animal model studies showed that antibacterial treatments played a positive role in helping wounds heal faster.
Harmful bacteria from the environment, an infected person or animal, a bug bite or something contaminated (like food, water or surfaces) can cause infections.
Antibiotics are only needed for treating certain infections caused by bacteria, but even some bacterial infections get better without antibiotics. We rely on antibiotics to treat serious, life-threatening conditions such as pneumonia and sepsis, the body's extreme response to an infection.
A person must complete the course of antibiotics to treat the infection fully and prevent the bacteria from becoming resistant to the drug. In addition to cleaning, some wounds may require further treatment. If the cut is large or deep, a doctor or nurse may have to use stitches to close it.
