If you have an infection on your skin, I would suggest Tea Tree Oil. I use it on most things, even bug bites!

Very much depends on the infection….

To fight a hornets nest, I use a hornet spray, to fight ants, I use an ant spray, to fight mites, I use another…..

Your case is best diagnosed by a doctor, but some symptoms are problematic….

My hubby has itchy feet, so I buy athletes foot spray, my son has allergies, so I buy benydryl…..

Your infection is very vague, please see a doctor if you can’t disclose the info over the net…………………..

Well, it really depends on what sort of infection. For internal, and if you don’t believe in the doc so you cannot get penicillin or any of the many "cyclines", I always go with ingesting an ample amount of bleu cheese. Seriously. Mold is natures penicillin – just so long as you are not allergic. I used it to help clear up an abscess tooth. For minor things, the one who said tea tree oil has the right idea.

For internal infection my fav is a combo of Goldenseal/Echinacea in a liquid form. This combo is said to rev up your immune system by up to 60% and is antibacterial and antiviral. You can buy this at most local health food stores.

I get cold sores sometimes (viral) and then I use a product called Master’s Miracle. I have only found it on-line but I keep it on hand all the time now because I haven’t found any others that work as well on viral stuff.

Here’s a link about strengthening your immune system that you might want to check out.

I would buy colloidal silver 10ppm and a bottle of oil of oregano. Additionally, you should purchase a good quality probiotic that is enteric coated to replenish your beneficial bacteria. A deficiency can sometimes cause infections. Double your water intake during treatment.

Natural Remedies:

Important nutrients include vitamin C (3,000-6,000mg, daily), vitamin B complex daily, vitamin E (400-600 IU, daily), beta-carotenes (carrot juice and green and yellow vegetables), flaxseed oil (2 Tbsp.), and grape seed extract.

Bromelain (substance in pineapples), taken on an empty stomach and with a small amount of magnesium and L-cysteine, has anti-inflammatory activity. Calcium, kelp, and alfalfa are also important. Primarily eat raw foods, and avoid all junk food.

Charcoal poultices or clay packs are helpful.

Drink a tea of hyssop, chickweed, vervain, mint, and sage.

Place a compress of fenugreek or chamomile on the area.

Bilberry, bromelain, echinacea, devil’s claw, feverfew, licorice root, and onion are all herbs that studies have shown to reduce inflammation. Goldenseal, pau d’arco, red clover, and ginger are also outstanding.

-Hope this helps you out.

try north American oil of oregano- comes in a 1 oz. vial. It’s great @ fighting infections, like sinuses. you can buy any brand of capsules that should be effective. The thing with oil of oregano is that it does burn your mouth when you drink it, kind of fiery so if you like hot this won’t bother you. I hear this brand is mild but pricey.

For bacterial infections, instead of antibiotics, you can try garlic.

Herbal remedies for infection are garlic and tea tree. These two herbs have very strong antibacterial properties and they fight infection.
