Fight Infections and Kill Bacteria

Many herbs and oils are natural antibacterial agents, in fact this catagory is so broad that we can only list some of the more prominent anti-bacterial herbs here. Many herbs may be used as teas and skin washes, herbal oils, and salves to help heal infections. Some of the most effective herbs contain berberine - goldenseal and Oregon grape root are two of the most widely used. Herbs that contain aromatic essential oils are also naturally antibacterial and antiseptic, with oregano, tea tree, cinnamon and thyme some of the top choices.
