In our society, we are getting sicker and sicker every day. Bodily, mentally and also emotionally and these are all intertwined.
Many times we are using antibiotics so to treat bodily sickness although the problem is that we are severely overusing these drugs to that point these bugs are becoming superbugs and killing people because of something called antibiotic resistance. Moreover, add severe adverse drug reactions and side effects, we are making the problem even worse than it already is.
And for sure, the path we are going is not a very good one.
What the real issue is that antibiotics will not and can not kill the viruses, only the bacteria which means that the antibiotics can not destroy viruses because they only target the structures that are being found in the bacteria. And because of the fact that viruses do not have that stuff inside of them the antibiotic has nothing to attack.
While on the other hand, all of us know of some plants and herbs that can attack viruses and bacteria.
7 powerful antibacterial and anti viral herbs:
Garlic
In case you cannot stand to eat it, get the odorless capsules and eat it like candy, and for viral infections on the skin you can pulp raw garlic and wrap it in a gauze.
Eucalyptus
This one has an active compound called cineole, which a common ingredient found as a compound of cough syrups. This plant eucalyptus is an amazing antiviral and decongestant so its function is to help in fighting the cold while also eliminating congestion and reducing the inflammation. It would be very good that you get the eucalyptus essential oil and put it in a diffuser in order to make it airborne for treating your respiratory problems.
Sage
This one has similar features that the eucalyptus has and it uses the vapors to treat sinusitis and lung illnesses.
Peppermint
This one in itself contains menthol which is an ingredient that can relax the muscles of the respiratory tract so it makes the breathing easier. Being into a combination with the antioxidant properties of the peppermint and potent antihistamine, menthol becomes some powerful decongestant.
Licorice root
Even more than twenty five triterpenoids and three hundred flavonoids have been isolated from licorice, and many recent researches have shown that these metabolities possess many pharmacological properties, such as antiviral, anti inflammatory, antitumor, antimicrobial and so on.
Thyme
This herb is also a yet another ancient remedy that has been used in order to treat respiratory tract and bacterial infections like pneumonia.
Oregano
It is a very useful antiviral and antioxidant, so it is recommended that you take one to two drops of oregano oil and more, you can mix it in a glass of water or juice. What I like is to put it in capsules and swallow because I do not care for the potent taste. This herb is full of nutrients and also with vitamins.
