To avoid these problems turn to high power plants that have antibiotic and will not have to worry about side effects.

Plants in place of antibiotics

Here are the best natural antibiotics to which you can call if necessary, according to the recommendations offered by Dr. Carmen Nonna MF with specialist skills in phytotherapy:

1. Olive leaves

A true natural antibiotic that inhibits growth of bacteria, fungi and parasites. In addition, olive leaf increase stamina by stimulating immune cells. It can be consumed as tea, by injection or capsule form, both being found in food stores.

2. Cloves

Cloves are used primarily for essential oil content which has antibacterial, antiviral and imuno-stimulents, thus calming the pain caused by tonsillitis. Consume 2-3 cups per day.

3. Poplar buds

These are just like propolis plant, because it turned out that there are five identical substances present in both propolis and poplar buds in, 3 of which have antibiotic effect. Are especially useful for pharyngitis, laryngitis or bronchitis and given as an infusion, tincture or capsules.

4. Lichen Stone

The in vitro studies demonstrated that usnic acid it contains has anti-inflammatory effect comparable to that of ibuprofen, and because it contains polysaccharides has also an immune effect.

We must know that there are both plants and natural products that have a powerful antibiotic effect. The difference between synthetic and natural antibiotics is that the latter do not give side effects and can be managed not only to treat infections, but also their prevention.
