Even though our initial reaction is to quickly head to the doctor’s office to get a prescription when faced with an infection or other illness, antibiotics seem to do more harm than good, so make sure you avoid them whenever possible.

There are perfectly effective natural antibiotics that provide even better effects and are completely safe to use.

According to Heart Health Guide:

“Natural antibiotics are nature’s alternative to pharmaceutical drugs. While antibiotics such as amoxicillin, azithromycin, and penicillin can lead to side effects, kill good bacteria in our intestines and create a new generation of superbugs which can make the common flu deadly, herbal antibiotics work in completely other fashion.

The role of herbal antibiotics is to attack and destroy bacteria and viruses in the blood, without causing dangerous mutation and adaptations of these dangerous microorganisms. Although most of them aren’t that effective in improving immune system function as some other herbs and supplements, few of them provide this type of benefit, too.

Although some of these natural antibiotics are very potent, combining a couple of them together can improve their ability to kill bacteria and viruses.”

These are the best natural antibiotics you can find in your kitchen:

1. Garlic

Garlic is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics. It destroys all kinds of bacteria, viruses, and infections, and helps in the cases of diabetes, high blood pressure, and even AIDS.  It also relieves the symptoms of the flu, colds, and toothaches.

2. Ginger

Ginger is an incredibly powerful ally in the fight against colds and the flu. Moreover, it soothes an upset stomach, treats nausea, and relieves muscle and joint pain.

3. Onions

Onions fight inflammation and soothe pain in the body. Just like garlic, they are excellent in the case of colds and the flu. 

4. Vitamin C

Vitamin C boosts the immune system, improves skin health and boosts prenatal health. Therefore, foods rich in it are of great help in the fight against infections, colds, and the flu.

5. Eucalyptus

When applied to the skin, eucalyptus has strong antiseptic properties, and when inhaled, it destroys fungus and fights colds.

6. Apple-Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is high in malic acid, which has potent antibiotic properties, so it prevents and treats common colds, the flu, and relieves a sore throat.

7. Horseradish

Horseradish energizes the body, supports the healthy blood circulation, treats urinary infections bronchitis, and kidney stones, and has potent antibiotic properties when broken down in the stomach.

8. Cinnamon

Cinnamon has powerful antibiotic qualities and treats yeast infections. It naturally lowers blood sugar levels and boosts health in many ways.

9. Manuka Honey

Manuka honey is rich in peroxide that provides its strong antibiotic properties. It also contains several other antibiotic components that are not found in other types of honey, like methylglyoxal.

10. Grapefruit Seed Extract

Grapefruit seed extract is conventionally used as an anti-microbial compound, since it destroys bacteria and fungi, and prevents their growth.
