Your body’s first line of defense against any illness or infection, is your immune system. Chances are, you have taken antibiotics at some point in your life. Drug based antibiotics are one of the most commonly prescribed medications. In fact, antibiotics are often over-prescribed for conditions such as sore throats or common cold, which natural antibiotics can cure.
As a result, people have ruined their digestive systems. Ironically they have lowered their natural immunity to all types of infections in the future. Drug based antibiotics really should only be used for life threatening situations – as a last resort if you will. But for everyday infections that are not life threatening, however, nature provides some very powerful and effective alternatives.
These natural antibiotics will super-boost your body’s ability to fight any nasty bugs that come your way and will help you remain healthy all year long.

Garlic contains potent antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties. Also, it helps protect and facilitate removal of unfriendly bacteria. Additionally, it is also very high in natural antioxidants that destroy free radicals, which also boosts your immune system.
Allicin is the key component in garlic. This ingredient is responsible for killing and warding off harmful bacteria. Crush it to activate these compounds. Either eat it raw, in a warm tea or in lightly cooked food.
