Antibacterial herbs that do not harm normal gut flora

May 23, 2001

Hi,

I have read that Grapefruit Seed Extract kills normal gut flora as

well as bacterial pathogens but Garlic and Olive Leaf Extract do not.

Garlic and Olive Lead Extract only kill the pathogens which is why

they are much safer to use. There is no risk of a secondary infection

taking place.

I need to know what antibacterial herbs behave like Garlic and Olive

Leaf Extract.

Please can anyone help me ? It is very important.

Pau d' Arco is anti-bacterial. Very good one. I used to use it to preserve

other herb teas, as when I mixed it in with them they stayed in the

refridgerator much longer without getting that spoiled taste.

Forget the Garlic oil, go with the fresh garlic itself. Very potent.

One of the best antibacterial herbs is Goldenseal.

Hope this helps.

Love,
