Anti-microbial and Medicinal Plant

An antimicrobial is an agent that kills or stops the growth of microorganisms. Antimicrobial medicines can be grouped by the microorganisms against which they primarily act. Until now, only a few antibiotics have been isolated in pure form from the higher plants.

Medicinal plants, commonly known as medicinal herbs, have been found and used in ancient medicinal practices since prehistoric times. There are records of herbs from the Sumerian civilization, where on clay tablets are listed hundreds of medicinal plants including opium.

Medicinal Plants and Antibiotics from Plants:

Garlic: Garlic has been used medicinally for thousands of years by cultures around the world.

Ginger: Ginger is best known for its antinausea effects, and antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant and anti-parasitic properties, to name just several of its more than 40 scientifically confirmed pharmacological actions.

Colloidal silver: It has been known for centuries as an effective antibiotic. Recent research has also shown that colloidal silver can destroy microbes resistant to antibiotics such as MRSA, bird flu, and SARS.

Oil of Oregano: Without disrupting beneficial bacteria, it takes care of pathogenic bacteria. Carvacrol is the key antimicrobial ingredient in oregano oil.

Echinacea: Echinacea was used to treat open wounds, diphtheria, blood poisoning and other diseases associated with bacteria. Today, because of its ability to destroy the most dangerous forms of bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, which causes deadly MRSA, this potent herb is mainly used for colds and flu.

Manuka Honey: Maybe the most appealing antibiotic comes in the manuka honey form. Applied topically, it can kill a wide variety of pathogens including MRSA and bacteria that eat flesh.

Peppermint: Peppermint offers benefits to the respiratory system for cough, cold, asthma, allergies, and tuberculosis, among others. It can also relax your bowel muscles, allow gas to pass through and relieve abdominal pain.
