Herbal Antibiotics

Since their discovery in the late 1920s, antibiotics have shaped and reshaped the history of medicine. The medicine that kills bacteria has reduced the number of people dying from common infections. This created enough excitement for pharmaceutical companies to produce it in insane amounts for a while. Doctors were encouraged to prescribe them, and people were presented with all their benefits. After all, this was the first medicine that killed bacteria without harming human cells - or so they thought. However, in the past couple of decades, it has become more than evident that synthetic antibiotics are overused. They've caused a wide range of issues even modern medicine has difficulties dealing with. During this period, the focus shifted to the production and use of natural antibiotics - the topic of this book.
Plants have been used in natural medicine for thousands of years. Ancient remedies were prepared for a plethora of conditions, including infections. With the development of the modern sciences, many bioactive compounds in herbs have been isolated. Their actions have been thoroughly studied, allowing us to understand how they benefit the body. Due to this, we know that herbal antibiotics act on the same principle as their synthetic counterparts; they kill the bacteria spreading throughout the body.
The difference is that herbal antibiotics also help the body to recover. You don't need months of prebiotic treatments after using herbal antibiotics. The combination of herbs is often devised so that it sheds the cells from getting damaged during the treatment. While, in challenging cases, the additional use of natural healing agents is still necessary, herbal antibiotics protect the immune system instead of weakening it.
