Antibiotic Herbs | The most useful antibiotic herbs

The issues of antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria have gotten a lot of attention lately. The concern is that bacteria, having been exposed to antibiotics for so long, have developed a resistance to the antibiotics, creating "superbugs." The grim reality is that bacterial infections that used to succumb easily to antibiotics have turned more serious, even deadly.

Antibiotic herbs can be used around the home for minor infections and as antiseptics to prevent infection. Here are some of the more useful antibiotic herbs.
