Natural Antibiotics

Just in time for the cold season, here is a blog on keeping your body well naturally.

Plant Antibiotics exist in nature. There are many forms. I am a nursing and working mother and as it happens, I had a bout of Mastitis; Mastitis is the inflammation of the milk ducts in the breast and women are typically prescribed pharmaceutical antibiotics for it. Most stay on these drugs for a handful of days to over a week.

I will now tell you what my Herbalist family member "prescribed" for me that knocked it out in less than 24 hours!

First she asked me if I had any Fresh, Organic Thyme or Rosemary. I happened to actually have it, funny enough. As she looked through my batch of fresh herbs she noted that I also had some Sage in there as well. She said, they all have the same antibiotic properties and will all act similarly.

She took a bunch in her hand and tossed it into a pot of boiling water. She was making a tea of these herbs which I was to then drink. I could've drank it straight but I put a dab of raw honey in it to make it a tad more palatable.

Then, I sipped on it for about 45 minutes....

2 hours later, the cramping began! It felt as if my bowels wanted to release absolutely everything in my intestines within 30 seconds! She saw me bent over on the living room floor, my husband laughing at me, and said, "Oh yeah, you do get a little gripey after taking it; I forgot to mention that!" Through my gritted smile and painful belly, I actually managed to chuckle.

The cramping was over in about 30 minutes; I fell asleep soon afterwards.
By morning, ALL SYMPTOMS OF MASTITIS WERE GONE! No pain! No soreness! No headache! No fever! No shivers! NOTHING! I was dumbfounded. 'Is it really this simple?!"

Well, in my case at least, it was.

So for those uninsured Mommies out there who are apprehensive to go to the doctor for every ailment, this worked for me.

It could work for you,
