Herbs correspond better and are identified in the body as a natural factor. Their main disadvantage is the low concentration of active ingredients.
Natural and herbal remedies are thousands of years old. In China, you will find many pharmacies with hundreds of different drawers. There you will find plants, powders of dried animals, worms, and more. Natural medicine is usually less violent and corresponds with the body better than synthesized drugs. However, their effect is often much slower. Herbal medicines have advantages and disadvantages; they are not the ultimate cure for every disease, as is sometimes claimed. Their main shortcoming is that they do not treat the mental-energetic dimension, which is extremely important in chronic illnesses like cancer and autoimmune diseases.
My experience with herbal antibiotics, antiprotozoal drugs, and corticosteroids. (immune-suppressing drug)

Unfortunately, I have had long-term experience with all of the above.
- While hospitalized, I received wide-range antibiotics IV for seven days. The outcome was the destruction of my intestinal bacteria and many other side effects.
- Later, I took a massive dosage of oral antibiotics without significant improvement. My health deteriorated even further.
- Cortisone helped with inflammation (as expected), but all my symptoms worsened when I stopped using it.
- I was given aggressive painkillers for neuropathy. It did not stop the pain, and the side effects were intolerable. I could not drive with the smaller dose of Gabapentin that was prescribed.
- I had mold & fungal infections, so I was given anti-protozoan drugs due to my liver's lousy condition. I could not stand it and stopped taking those drugs shortly.
The Antibiotic Apocalypse Explained.
There are two strategies to combat infectious diseases:
- The first is strengthening the immune system by adopting a healthy lifestyle and diet. This approach is usually more appropriate for the long term.
- The second approach is to help the immune system eliminate undesirable invaders using drugs. (In this case, herbal remedies.) This approach is suitable for helping the patient recover faster in the short term.
Some examples of herbal medicines have the effect of eliminating pathogens.
The examples I use for herbal remedies are in no way a recommendation to take these substances.
- There is an endless list of powders, pills, liquids, and herbal remedies. Do not get confused! They may have health benefits but are not independent treatments; herbal remedies can cause side effects, and some have contraindications.
Oregano oil.
Oregano oil.

- I use oregano oil and Austrian tea tree oil as a natural insect repellent, which is especially effective!
- Oregano oil is considered by many to be capable of destroying various pathogens. At the same time, I recommend using caution, especially for internal use. (Drinking)
- Oregano oil may be effective against toothache and can be gargled with lukewarm water twice daily.
Tea tree oil. 
Australian tea tree oil.

Black walnut
The black walnut extract.

Gan Cao (Chinese) - Liquorice.
Gan Cao (Chinese) - Liquorice.

- Traditional Chinese medicine has used the plant's bark for hundreds of years. The Chinese attribute it to reducing inflammation, making it a kind of natural steroid.
- Cautions.
- It is contraindicated when combined with a few other traditional Chinese medicines.
I brought some examples of herbal medicines that are very common in folk medicine. (I used them all)
- It is pretty evident that herbal remedies also have side effects and counter-indications.
- I can not confidently say that parties conduct studies in this field without interest. The pharmaceutical industry is among the strongest, wealthiest, and most influential globally.
For hundreds and thousands of years, herbal medicines have been used to kill germs, viruses, parasites, and other pathogens. Herbal remedies are also not intended for prolonged use; most have relatively low concentrations of active ingredients, and therefore, their potential harm is usually lower than that of pharmaceuticals.
In China nowadays, herbs are widespread; next to them, you will also find Western medicines.
Frequently asked questions and answers:
Are medicinal plants only used in traditional medicine?
In many places in the world and China, medicinal plants are widely used and specially prepared for each patient, along with well-known western medicines.
Why does the body respond better to herbal remedies compared to pharmaceuticals?
The amount of active substances in medicinal plants is often significantly lower than in prescription drugs. Medicinal plants contain natural substances the body recognizes as food, compared to synthetic prescription drugs that the body recognizes as poison and require breakdown in the liver.
Is it advisable to switch chronic patients from prescription drugs to herbal drugs?
A large part of the prescription drugs has a herbal counterpart whose effect is milder and slower but is more suitable for long-term use. Most doctors do not know herbal medicine, and pharmaceutical companies will certainly not reward a doctor who prescribes herbal drugs to his patients.
Why can't herbal medicines be used in medical emergencies?
Herbal medicines contain active natural substances in low concentrations, and their effect is relatively slow.
Is the use of herbal antibiotics likely to return to use due to the immunity developed by bacteria to antibiotics?
Oregano oil is considered a good substitute for certain types of antibiotics. But its effect is relatively slow and not suitable for emergencies. Medicine uses successful active ingredients from the plant world.
Drugs in the past were not initially intended for prolonged use.
Drugs as a worldview are not intended for prolonged consumption, as exists today. Herbal remedies are often aimed at restoring the patient to balance; they are most often used for a fixed period. The modern era has inadvertently made drugs the goal of treatment.
