Top 15 Antibiotic Herbs
The following list is by no means inclusive of all the herbs that are effective for antibacterial-resistant diseases;
there are many others. These, however, are arguably among the most powerful and effective. I arrived at this
list by using three overlapping in criteria: length and type of use in folk medicine, beneficial outcomes in
modern clinical practice, and results from modern scientific studies: in vitro, in vivo, and in human trials. Thus,
these herbs have been found to be powerful healers throughout history, they are noted as reliable healing agents
among modern practitioners, and rigorous scientific study has found them to possess potent activity against
bacteria. (Information on how to make herbal preparations from these herbs can be found in chapter 4, Making
and Using Herbal Medicines. For instance, the tincture formula for echinacea says "Make a 1:5 mixture in 60
proof alcohol." How this and all the other processes are done is explained there.)

Person who wrote the foreword wrote a book titled "The Green Pharmacy: New Discoveries in Herbal Remedies for Common Diseases and Conditions" from the World's Foremost Authority on Healing Herbs. The sause for that one was kinda weird, even though I did download it. Maybe will post when images work again. But There's also a handbook by same author titled, "Handbook of Medicinal Herbs"
