“Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.” Hippocrates
In herbology they are called astringent meaning foods and herbs that are natural blood cleansers and antibiotic in nature. The word anti (against) – biotic (life), refers to a list of pharmaceutical antimicrobials designed to kill harmful bacteria in the host body. Problem is these synthetic forms of antibiotics kill off both the good and bad bacteria leaving the body depleted of living microflora that supports immune function.
Including foods and herbs that contain antibiotic properties in your diet can support your immune system and help to defend you from certain infectious bacteria. This can also be said for organisms such as the Lymes spirochete and Candida Albicans, an overgrowth of yeast. There are many foods and herbs known to have natural antibiotic qualities; and with an increased resistance to pharmaceutical antibiotics in people today, it is wise to eat foods that work in your defense on a daily basis.
This is not to imply that you should not take antibiotics when deemed necessary by your medical doctor. However, knowing how to use certain foods as medicine can help you to cut down on over using synthetic antibiotics for minor health conditions. Naturally, consult your physician before proceeding.

+ add your ownplus there are other things we can use in place of honey, in ALL aspects of its uses. Please consider this and buy something else.
Bees are endangered though, so do seriously consider NOT using honey. And even if you're greedy & don't care, their lives affect the rest of ours.
Our healthcare system was not designed to save the US money.
The goal of just about everyone on this earth is to be disease free all of our lives.

some one asked about scientific reports on these herbs?
How about thousands of years of use? I believe that kind of research then a bought out scientist.
Mother nature looks out for us far more than the big pharmas. We just need to listen.
