Herbal Antibiotics, 2nd Edition
The essential guide to building your natural defences. Bacterial infections are on the rise and pharmaceutical antibiotics are increasingly powerless to stop them. Pathogenic bacteria are tenacious survivors; they outsmart modern medicine and become virulent “superbugs’ resistant to antibiotics and increasingly deadly.
Stephen Harrod Buhner offers conclusive evidence that plant medicines, with their complex mix of multiple, antibiotic, systemic, and synergistic compounds, should be our first line of defence against resistant infections. His indispensable reference explains the roots of antibiotic resistance, explores the value of herbal treatments, and provides in-depth profiles on the most reliably effective herbs, giving you the confidence to identify the best herbal formulas and make medicines yourself.
As we prepare for the end of antibiotics, this reference is a critical part of every family’s library.
Herbal expert Stephen Harrod Buhner explains the roots of antibiotic resistance, explores the value of herbal treatments, and provides in-depth profiles of 30 valuable plants, noting the proper dosages, potential side effects, and contraindications of each.
