We cannot imagine modern medicine today without antibiotics. The discovery of penicillin was one of the most important and most fundamental discoveries, thanks to which it suddenly became possible to treat infections that until then were often deadly. Antibiotics effectively fight bacteria, fungi and some parasites. Effective antibiotics are not found only in the pharmacy; they are also present in many natural environments. Which ones are they?
Garlic
The best-known natural antibiotic is garlic, which has strong antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral effects and at the same time is an effective immune stimulant. For this reason its consumption is recommended as a prevention of various diseases; some people even call it Russian penicillin. Garlic consumed raw has the strongest effects. The basic substance that gives it its great healing properties is allicin. In addition to allicin, garlic also contains selenium and vitamins A, B, C and E.

Apple cider vinegar is often referred to as an elixir of youth, health and slimness. It contains a large amount of various vitamins and minerals; in particular it is rich in vitamins C, B1, B2, B6, folic acid, iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Apple cider vinegar is also rich in antioxidants that block the harmful effects of free radicals and thus prevent tissue damage. The combination of these substances makes it a great natural antibiotic with excellent antibacterial effects. Women will also appreciate apple cider vinegar for weight loss, as it speeds up metabolism and reduces appetite. Last but not least, apple cider vinegar also helps flush toxic substances from our bodies, has anti-inflammatory effects, lowers blood cholesterol levels and helps break down fats.
