Your Questions About Natural Antibiotic Herbs

George asks…

garlic is it a natural antibiotic?

anyone ever hear of using garlic as a natural antibiotic? anyone ever try it and or have any legit medical evidence to back it up? not looking for opinions here dont care whay aunt so and so said. any medical profesionals here that know that it actually works. just getting interested in herbs and such and heard that it was good stuff.

admin answers:

Yes garlic is a natural antibiotic. And it works wonders especially with an ear infection. Put some olive oil and fresh garlic cloves in a frying pan, put it on your stove on med-hi for 3 min. And once it cools down take a cotton ball and dip it into the mixture and stick it in your ear. Do it 3x for one day and you'll see a difference. By the 2nd day, the ear infection will almost be gone. Garlic will kill almost anything!
Another random fact. Cayenne pepper is a natural anti-inflammatory. If you have strep throat, or a soar throat fill a cup with warm water, sprinkle Cayenne pepper on the top and gargle with it. It takes the pain right away. If you have a hurt or swollen foot/arm/knee , fill a basin with warm water, mix in Cayenne pepper and soak your injury in it for about 20min. Cayenne pepper will draw out the inflammation and you will be able to see the swelling go down.

Carol asks…

I need a natural form of antibiotic, any ideas?

I have an ear infection. I have already been to the doctor and he prescribed some antibiotic. I was wondering though if I can take some type of herb, plant or anything that is natural. I would much rather do that than take more drugs. Also is there anything safe for a child for same ear infection?

admin answers:

Garlic, ginger, tulsi and colloidal silver all have antibiotic properties. All are safe for children as long as you don't overdo it. You might get ginger or tulsi tea at your local health food store.

Mark asks…

Natural herbs to help with urinary tract infection?

I just started with a very uncomfortable UTI and aside from plenty of water,cranberry juice and antibiotics isn't their some kind of natural or a certain vitamin that helps with the symptoms? I am going to thr ER this morn to get this treated so before I go I thought I would ask all the Yahoo answers audience.Thank you.

Hi:

Cranberry juice, cranberry juice and cranberry juice. Oh, did I mention cranberry juice?

If you can't drink thousands of gallons of cranberry juice, it does come in the form of a capsule. Check the herbal suppliment isle in your local pharmacy.

Here are some other tried and tryed recipes:

Mix 1/4 tsp of baking SODA in about 1/2 glass (4 oz) of water. Drink 2 glasses of plain water the the mixture you just made. Yuk, I know but do it anyway… The baking soda helps to create a less acidic environment inside your bladder which makes it harder for the bacteria to thrive so they begin to die off.

Don't drink drinks with a high acid content as that will defeat the purpose of the baking soda nad water mixture. Plus bacteria love to live in a place with lots of acid. The less acid you can have in your bladder, the less bacteria you will have.

Garlic is a huge wonderful medicinal herb. Garlic seems to HATE bacteria and thrives of killing them. So try this one for those bladder bacteria…

Garlic Tea:
(I hope you like garlic) peel a few fresh cloves of garlic. The kind you but pre sliced or pre chopped in a jar will not work. So peel a few cloves, smash and mash as my boys say, smash and mash those cloves smash and mash them well. Drop them in a mug of hot water and let it steep for about 5 minutes. If you dont have any fresh garlic but you have garlic POWDER (NOT the salt) then add abut a tsp into the hot water and drink up but be careful not to burn yourself on the hot liquid.

And the last one I can think of is an herb called Goldenseal. Goldenseal is not so fond of Ecoli bacteria which is the most common bacteria that causes UTI's. But Goldenseal also has a bonus to it. It will also stimulate your immune system and helps with the swelling in the urinart tract.

I just looked up in my book the usual dosage of Goldensel to take daily. My books state you can take 500 – 1,000mg of Goldenseal extract daily for up to one week. Do not take it more than 1 week.

I hope you feel better soon, take care.

Be safe and be well
