Antibiotics play a pivotal role in killing or stopping the growth of bacteria in the body. However, some present day antibiotics such as penicillin not only kill harmful bacteria in the body, they also kill bacteria that helps us stay healthy. Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting are all potential side effects when people take certain antibiotics. Natural antibiotics on the other hand, have no side effects and some have been used for thousands of years. Here are a few examples of natural antibiotics and the benefits they can provide you with.
Black Garlic-Fermenting garlic converts allicin, the main healthy component of garlic, into a stable and potent antioxidant, S-Allyl-Cysteine (SAC). SAC has twice the antioxidant capacity and is proven to be absorbed better than allicin. Some benefits of SAC include strengthening the immune system, improvement of cardiovascular health, and assisting in regulating blood pressure.
