Have you thought that some of the most effective remedies against colds, viruses or infections can easily be found in our home? Most of the foods we include in our daily diet have a double role: they are not just a delight for taste buds, but real treatments that can provide remedies for important illnesses. All that is needed is to be aware and find out the healthy goodies that our own home can offer.

Here are 3 natural antibiotics that get rid of cold:

1. Garlic: Garlic is undoubtedly one of the most popular curative agents, which, due to its special antiviral properties, is considered a real natural antibiotic.

This is a rich source of antioxidants that protect against the action of bacteria and free radicals in the blood, providing protection for the immune system.

Its properties are due in particular to allicin, an antimicrobial substance that acts like a natural antibiotic, managing to destroy viruses and powerful infections. Garlic is particularly recommended for staph infections such as buccal-pharyngeal abscesses, tonsillitis, and bronchitis. It is also good for infections of the skin, asthma, hypertension and intestinal parasites.



2. Ginger: Ginger is a great remedy with a tradition in alternative medicine, being used for over two thousand years due to its nutrients with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties such as gingerol, zingerone, and shogaol. Ginger, either in the form of tea or naturally consumed, is a good remedy for colds because it calms inflammation in the throat, relieves symptoms of sinusitis, fever and throat infections.

In addition, it also helps with respiratory problems by stimulating the removal of mucous membranes and fluidization of respiratory blockage. Beyond antiseptic action, ginger is also a support in slimming diets, because it intensifies the burning of fats, helps eliminate toxins in the body and is a tonic and energizing effective for the body.

3. Probiotics: These living microorganisms, also referred to as ‘beneficial bacteria’, are found in our own body, in the intestine, in the proportion of 70 to 80%. Probiotics act against infections like antibiotics, but their important advantage is that they do not affect the intestinal flora. By contrast, antibiotics do not differentiate between good and bad bacteria and can also remove those that protect the body.

However, it is important to note that their antiviral and antimicrobial action is ensured by the presence of two microbes: bifido acidophilus and lactobacillus acidophilus. These are found especially in fermented foods like yogurt, cashew, and pickled cucumbers.
