Is there such a thing as a natural antibiotic?!
Question: Is there such a thing as a natural antibiotic.?
Answers:
There are herbs which contain natural antibiotics. It is well worth remembering that penicillin was developed from a form of mould. I would however, refer to a herbalist before taking any natural medicine.
About 70% of modern medicines were developed from the older herbals.
Just because something is natural does not mean it can't do you any harm. Antibiotics should be used sparingly because they interfere with the bodies defence mechanisms. A the body can produce an allergic reaction to some.Health Question & Answer

In my studies with Dr. Andrew Weil, I learned a lot. As a physician, I was also interested in "natural antibiotic."
Pencillin is from a natural source - only in the concentrated form. Many medications owe their beginnings to natural plants. This study of ethnobotany made Dr. Weil today.
As to antibiotic, one needs to be mindful that all medications in antibiotic class work against selected agents - for example, antibiotics work against certain bacteria, antifungal against certain fungus and yeast, anti-virals against certain viruses.
There are two general ways herbs can help. One way is immune support and the other way is to offer broad spectrum anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral activities. Chinese medicines, medical mushrooms, and selected herbs fit these way.
For example Yin Qiao and Shuang Huang Lian has been used for centuries in Chinese medicine for treating mild respiratory conditions by Chinese doctors.
In Dr. Weil's Clinic, we focused on using specific herb products for targeting specific conditions.Health Question & Answer

To the rather mixed-up person who bases her answers on her misunderstanding of the middle ages, the bubonic plague that killed so many people was so deadly because the Church at the time kept the X-tians ignorant and illiterate and refused to allow anyone but their representatives to have any schooling and only recently has the X-tian world learned of all of the natural medicines that the Jews and Moslems have been using successfully all through the centuries.

Penicillin is natural. It's made by fungi of the genus penicillium. It's also the same genus used in making blue cheese dressing.
