The Top 25 Effective Natural Antibiotics

As you may already know, prescription antibiotics have been proven to cause harm to our digestive system by destroying the beneficial bacteria our body naturally produces and relies on, all while actually strengthening the very bacteria the antibiotics are intended to kill. So not only do they cause the bacteria to mutate and become even more resistant to the prescription antibiotics, but we also damage our guts ability to fight illness in the first place. Add in the fact that prescription antibiotics (such as Amoxicillin) are extremely over prescribed and prescribed for situations in which they are useless (viruses in particular) or unnecessary and we have a cocktail for weakened immune systems and digestive issues galore.

Luckily for us, nature didn’t want to let us down and decided to offer us many natural antibiotics that have been proven to be effective and safe when used appropriately. Most of these natural antibiotics are foods and many of these have been used for thousands of years to treat many illnesses and ailments and host many other medicinal properties as well. We highly encourage you to continue educating yourselves on all that the natural world has to offer.
