Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food. -Hippocrates
In herbology, antibiotic-like foods are called astringent meaning natural blood cleansers. Theword anti (against) biotic (life) refers to a list of pharmaceutical antimicrobials designed to killharmful bacteria in the host body. The problem is these synthetic forms of antibiotics kill off boththe good and bad bacteria leaving the body depleted of living microflora that supports immunefunction.
Including foods and herbs that contain antibiotic properties in your diet can support your immunesystem and help to defend you from certain infectious bacteria, such as the Lymes spirochete andCandida Albicans, an overgrowth of yeast. There are many foods and herbs known to have naturalantibiotic qualities; and with an increased resistance to pharmaceutical antibiotics in people today,it is wise to eat foods that work in your defense on a daily basis.

Both foods have been used totreat everything from minor illness to major disease and inflammation, both internally and externally.The sulfur compounds in onions and garlic are the key elements for use as an antibiotic.

CabbageA member of the cruciferous vegetable family, along with broccoli, kale, cauliflower and Brusselssprouts, cabbage has long been recognized for its healing powers. One reason is the cancerfighting sulfur compounds. Another is that fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C are considered anatural antibiotic and a one-cup serving of cabbage provides about 75 percent of your daily adultallowance.

Topically, rawcabbage leaves applied to tender breasts can relieve inflammation from mastitis, fibro cysts andmenstrual breast tenderness.
