Antibiotics have saved countless lives, by converting severe, life-threatening infections into temporary ones. However, the common practice of prescribing them have forced microorganisms to adapt to the techniques.
Therefore, we are currently facing an even bigger problem — superbugs. These superbugs are resistant to antibiotics and do not respond to those therapies, as they have developed stronger fighting back mechanisms.
Hence, there is a huge need for serious measures to solve this problem with antibiotic resistance in order to be able to fight pathological microorganisms.
Due to all this, numerous people have started to use natural antibiotics as a way to treat mild infections and prevent the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bugs.
First of all, you should know the reason why doctors do not prescribe antibiotics for the flu or a viral infection. Namely, antibiotics fight bacteria, fungi, and some parasites, but not viruses.
Similarly, natural antibiotics cannot destroy viruses. They are divided into two groups: antibacterials and antifungals, while the medicinal antibiotics are created for both types.
Yet, these natural antibiotics should only assist your therapy, and not replace the professional medical advice, diagnosis, and treatment. If you suffer from a certain health condition, you need to consult your medical practitioner about what kind of natural antibiotic is best to use.
