Designed particularly for bacterial infections, antibiotics are the favorite tools of most medical doctors against most issues that walk into their offices.
Yet, whenever necessary to use an antibiotic for any infection, the only antibiotics you should turn to are the safe and natural ones. One of the best natural antibiotics is the oil of oregano, which has been proved to be superior to some antibiotics, without the harmful side effects.
Sadly, the antibiotics prescribed by most medical doctors today have horrendous side effects including causing antibiotic resistance, destroying beneficial gut bacteria (probiotics), decreasing vitamin absorption and destroying the digestive lining causing leaky gut.
Every home should have a bottle of oregano oil
Oregano oil is derived from the flowers and leaves of wild oregano plant. It is a potent antimicrobial agent that effectively fights off infections. Because of its antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties, the oregano oil has a wide range of uses and health benefits.
Oregano oil has the highest content of phenols among all aromatic plants – natural phytochemical compounds that have high antioxidant activities. It contains two powerful compounds – carvacrol and thymol, that have powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties and are the reason why oregano oil is so potent and powerful.
These compounds have natural fungicide and antiseptic properties that kill a wide variety of pathogens, breaking through the cell membranes of disease-causing microbes like nothing else could. These activities help boost the immune system, neutralize free radicals, repair and heal cells and tissue damages.

Add 3-4 drops of oregano oil in a glass of water and drink 2-3 times a day before meals. For some people, these few drops may cause a little burning sensation in the mouth. Lower the number of drops if you cannot handle it.
Use this for up to 14 days if using therapeutically to kill parasites or to fight infections. Take a 7-day break, and continue another 14 days if necessary. Oregano oil is so potent that it must not be taken on a long-term basis.
Oregano oil detox is recommended for individuals who are suffering from Candida infections, while at the same time go on a total sugar-free and non-processed foods diet.
The advantage of natural antibiotics is that they don’t produce any side effects as they do not destroy the good bacteria, thus can only improve your gut flora health.
