We must immediately stipulate that it is not about all known antibiotics, but about pharmaceuticals. It is impossible to treat a bacterial infection without antimicrobial agents. And if in the treatment of light skin pathologies antibiotics can be replaced with antiseptics, then the spread of staphylococcal infection within the body can be stopped only with the help of antibiotics.

Another thing is that antibiotics effective from staphylococcus  can have a natural origin. Some of them we use daily, without even thinking about the beneficial properties of the product or plant.

Take, for example, the same garlic. No wonder that even our grandmothers and great-grandmothers insisted that one must eat at least one clove of garlic every day, because this spicy plant helps to fight effectively both bacteria, including staphylococci, and internal parasites.

Also unbearable for staphylococcus, especially golden, phytoncids onions. By combining the action of two strong natural antibiotics, you can fight staphylococcus even without the use of synthetic agents. But apply these  herbal antibiotics against staphylococcus  in fresh form, using as much as possible freshly picked fruit in the form of gruel.

In diseases of the respiratory system, juice of garlic or onions can be used in a mixture with milk (8-10 drops of juice are taken on a tablespoon of slightly warm milk).

But we must remember that with gastritis and stomach ulcer such treatment with fresh garlic and onions bring harm. The same can be said for patients with pancreatic inflammation and kidney disease.

A noticeable antimicrobial effect against staphylococci is possessed by eucalyptus. On the basis of the extract of his leaves, even a chemist "Chlorophyllipt" was created. The drug is used topically for skin infections and inside (orally, in the form of enemas, intravenously, as intracavitary infusions using a drainage tube). The solution is not used only with hypersensitivity to it.

Not everyone knows, but natural plant antibiotics include calendula, chamomile, sage, hops, oregano and some other herbs. With angina caused by Staphylococcus aureus, rinsing the throat with a decoction of the aforementioned herbs or collection will help to speed up the recovery considerably and prevent the infection from entering the body.

Especially effective against Staphylococcus aureus Origanum (oregano). With respiratory pathologies, tea with this spice is good. A cup of boiling water is taken 1 dessert spoon (without a slide) oregano in powder, insist for a quarter of an hour, filter and drink instead of tea with honey (by the way, honey also helps to fight with bacterial infection).

Tea tree oil is an excellent alternative to antibiotics in the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus in the nose and on the skin. Moreover, essential oil has a harmful effect even on methicillin-resistant strains of bacteria. For treatment, a 10% ointment based on petrolatum and essential oil is prepared and used three times a day.

Scientists have proved that the phytoncides contained in horseradish and cabbage exert a destructive effect on Staphylococcus aureus. It turns out that using the products we are accustomed to can prevent staphylococcal infection.

To combat Staphylococcus aureus in any manifestations of infection, you can use a collection that contains such herbs: yarrow (300g), lupine, burdock (250g each), oregano, nettle, clover, plantain, St. John's Wort, mother-and-stepmother (150g) (root), rosehip (fruits) (100 each), calendula, chamomile, dandelion, horsetail (50 g each). For 2 liters of water take 250 g of a multicomponent herbal collection. The composition is boiled for 5 minutes and insisted for about 1h. The first couple of days of illness the broth is drunk every hour for 100 g, then 4 times a day before meals for two months.

You can try this recipe: chop a couple of roots of parsley and celery root, squeeze out juice from them and drink an hour before eating. Treatment is repeated for several days.

Staphylococcus on the skin is well helped by apple cider vinegar. It can be used for compresses and added to a bath. On a bath with water you need to take only a quarter of a glass of vinegar (50 g). Take a bath during the illness you need 3 times a day for 15 minutes.

For compresses for half a cup of water add 1 tablespoon. Apple cider vinegar.

Another couple of delicious recipes. She does not like staphylococcus and black currant. This delicious berry can be milled, mixed with sugar and consumed three times a day for 1 glass. And the children can be offered treatment with apricot puree or fresh apricots (1/2 kilogram of fruit or half a liter of mashed potatoes a day). Apricots should be eaten on an empty stomach during the day.

Staphylococcal skin lesions in infants can be treated by turns, adding 2 liters of herb decoction to the bath.

Propolis is a known natural broad-spectrum antibiotic. Many types of staphylococcus are also afraid of him. Propolis in the form of ointments and tinctures can be used by anyone who does not have allergies to beekeeping products.

To prepare the ointment for half a glass of unrefined vegetable oil take 20 g of propolis. Boil the food for an hour in a water bath, filter through tissue and store in a dark cool place.

Preparation days of the infusion take half a cup of warm water and 10 g of propolis. After a day, the infusion can be taken orally. Single dose - 2 tablespoons. Multiplicity of admission - 4 times a day.

There is another interesting way of treating staphylococcal infection, which has come down to us from the time of Aristotle. This treatment with copper. Even in ancient times, wounds and cuts were treated by applying a copper plate to them, and preferred to make utensils from this metal. The whole point is that copper can also be attributed to antibiotics, effective against staphylococcal infection.

If there are no copper dishes in the house, particles of metal from which get into the food and provide the necessary level of microelement in the body, copper deficiency can be made up, including spinach, buckwheat, pork and beef liver, whole oat grains, lettuce leaves. In the diet of a patient with a staphylococcal infection of such products should be a lot.

But to abuse such treatment is also not worth it, because an overdose of copper can lead to violations of the kidneys, liver and nervous system. The norm of a microelement in the human body is 2g.

Recently, the influence of colloidal silver on a bacterial cell has been actively discussed. Most scientists agree that it is quite possible to treat staphylococcal infections with it, since preparations based on colloidal silver ("Collargol", "Protargol", etc.) can have a bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect on gram-positive bacteria, to which staphylococcus refers.

In alternative medicine, silver water has become very popular in the treatment of many diseases. It is obtained by means of an electric ionizer and a silver object lowered into the water. When a current is passed through silver, its ions are released into the water.

It is very important to monitor the concentration of the solution obtained. Water with a concentration of 10 ppm should be taken 1-2 tsp. 2-3 times a day, slightly holding the solution in the mouth before swallowing. Children's dose is 2 times less than adults.

Preparations of colloidal silver for various bacterial pathologies can be instilled in the eyes, nose and ears, they should rinse their mouth and syringate the vagina, wipe their affected areas with skin infections, apply inside with systemic diseases.

As we see, applying natural antibiotics can get rid of staphylococcus no worse than with the therapy with synthetic drugs. But we must understand that self-treatment can have absolutely the same results that we expect of it. And in the case of severe infections can lead even to complications and the transition of the disease to a chronic stage, a complete cure of which is almost impossible. In other words, alternative methods of treatment are more suitable for light surface infections or as part of complex therapy of pathologies of medium and high severity.
