Plants and berries that help with various diseases

At the first symptoms of the disease, onions, garlic, propolis, rosehip infusions help well. They kill microbes, saturate the body with vitamin C. It is also good to add ginger to tea, the root of which has antimicrobial, expectorant, antipyretic and diaphoretic effect. Lemon also boosts immunity well, but it can support the body only at the onset of the disease or during a cold period (to strengthen the immune system). But raspberries are a real storehouse of usefulness. The salicylic acid contained in this plant lowers the temperature, but does not cause complications, and the berries can reduce joint pain.

The commentary of the therapist Julia Aust:

– Natural antibiotics play a huge role in our life. The first acquaintance with them occurs in childhood: once you get sick and the grandmother with the jam appears earlier than the pediatrician. And not because parents do not trust doctors, but because they do not want to “poison” the child with pills, syrups and potions once again. In addition, adults are skeptical about the chemical composition of drugs and fall into a real panic after reading the list of side effects. Often, as a doctor, I have to explain that all the “side effects” are the results of large studies of scientists, and even if one subject develops a slight dizziness, it will certainly be reflected in the documents. By the way, in case of an “overdose” of natural antibiotics or their incorrect use, side effects may also appear. And what a lot!

Microbes in this case kill the infusions of chamomile, calendula, propolis. At the same time, propolis tincture is effective not only for pharyngitis and tonsillitis, it also helps with sinusitis, purulent wounds and otitis media.

The commentary of the therapist Julia Aust:

– As a person who was born and lived in the countryside, “herbal medicine” also did not pass me by. Moreover, most often it was necessary to be treated with chamomile decoctions. I can’t say that the taste was pleasant to me, but the logic was simple: the flower is familiar, which means you can trust it! Today, having become a doctor, I realized that this trust was not unfounded. Chamomile is really famous for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, it is well suited for children and adults with colds, it is recommended for general intoxication syndrome, diseases of the urinary system, allergic reactions, local skin rashes (acne, acne, etc.), soothes and relieves itchy skin. So it certainly will not harm, the main thing is not to miss the moment at which the disease can continue to develop, and you will need more serious medications and more serious help.

Here sea buckthorn comes to the rescue – an excellent disinfecting and tannin substance. Sea buckthorn oil is often used for damage to the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat, and inhalation is used to prevent diseases of the upper respiratory tract.

The commentary of the therapist Julia Aust:

– If we talk about lingonberries, cranberries, viburnum and other berries, then their popularity is due not only to people’s knowledge of the beneficial properties of these berries, but also to their availability. Such fruits are inexpensive, besides, many can be grown on their site and received at all for free. Hence the popularity.

One of the main helpers in this case is black radish juice infused with honey. It is a powerful antiseptic that has expectorant and anti-cold properties. By the way, radish juice is also used for diabetes. It has a diuretic, choleretic, wound healing and bactericidal effect.

The commentary of the therapist Julia Aust:

– If we are talking about natural or “home” antibiotics, then we must remember about milk with honey. It is considered by many to be almost a universal drink and is given at the first sign of acute respiratory viral infections, acute respiratory infections or flu. If you do this too, I hasten to warn you: warm milk with honey is not particularly recommended for both acute respiratory and intestinal, atypical diseases. This is due to the fact that homemade milk is a fairly saturated product and its use, in principle, is recommended separately from other products, since it requires a large amount of energy to digest. Now imagine that you are sick, the body has spent energy on fighting the disease, and instead of helping it, you have added “work”.

Many people know that benzyl isothiocyanate in horseradish suppresses bacteria that cause flu, coughs and runny nose. However, among other things, it still successfully fights inflammation in the bladder, urinary tract and kidneys, and also activates the digestive processes. By the way, even doctors admit that horseradish is almost as effective as synthetic antibiotics.

Another helper in these diseases is cranberry. This marsh berry is generally the most effective recognized natural antibiotic. Speaking in the context of diseases of the bladder, cranberry prevents bacteria from adhering to the walls of the bladder and thereby protects the bladder from infections. In the old days, cranberries were used not only for colds, but also for scurvy, high blood pressure, as well as kidney disease and fevers.

The commentary of the therapist Julia Aust:

– If we talk about lingonberries, cranberries, viburnum and other berries, then their popularity is due not only to people’s knowledge of the beneficial properties of these berries, but also to their availability. Such fruits are inexpensive, besides, many can be grown on their site and received at all for free. Hence the popularity.

And again we remember about chamomile, calendula and … black currant. Yes Yes! Do not wonder! It is the decoctions from the leaves of this garden berry that can effectively fight rashes and skin irritations.

The commentary of the therapist Julia Aust:

– Do I recommend my patients to use natural antibiotics? Yes, I recommend. And not because I consider it a panacea for all diseases, but because I see that this person has already decided to be treated with decoctions and infusions, and he will be treated with them, no matter what I prescribe. Most often, these include pregnant and lactating women, elderly and senile people, low-income people. And vice versa. Sometimes quite wealthy patients say that they “do not want to poison themselves with chemistry” and ask for a recommendation for something natural. Then I recommend ginger, which can be used as an infusion and added to the drink in a chopped form. Ginger is recommended for diseases of the upper respiratory tract, in the complex treatment of pneumonia. It is a good antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and diaphoretic, expectorant. Recently, when most broncho-pulmonary diseases begin to be protracted and have many residual symptoms in the form of cough, runny nose, low-grade fever, it is the use of ginger that becomes especially relevant and effective.

Modern doctors often really advise patients to take natural antibiotics, but this does not mean at all that you can also independently and uncontrollably prescribe chamomile, viburnum or garlic to yourself. Each plant and flower can be useful and harmful at the same time, since before taking it, you need to consider whether you have allergic reactions, whether there are chronic diseases and much more. And only a good doctor can objectively understand this.
