Most of the people nowadays (with few exceptions) are familiar with the fact that common usage of antibiotics can cause many side effects. However, when the antibiotics first began to be used massively by the general population (first half of the previous century) they were looked on as miracle and considered to be remedy for all sort of disease, even the most dangerous ones. In that time the inflammatory diseases and the pneumonia were the most threatening diseases. Interestingly, when people started to use the antibiotics, the mortality rate of deaths started to significantly drop. As time went on, people started to use, and even to abuse the antibiotics for each disease which appeared to be serious and threatening. However, this led to many side effects that actually cause other health disorders.
Apart from medicine, many other branches started to use antibiotics more than normal. For instance, the antibiotics began to be used in dairy and meat industries and this led to various serious health problems. The antibiotics, besides the bad bacteria also kill healthy cells from the entire digestive system. This leads to various problems with digestion.
Another serious issue is the rise of so-called “superbugs”. As a result of the massive use of antibiotics, they have become resistant and it is much more difficult to destroy them with the common products that the modern medicine offers.
This is the reason why we must turn to the traditional medicine based on natural remedies. One of the most effective remedy is the garlic and it is the subject of our interest in this article. The garlic or more precisely, the garlic soup is one of the best and most powerful natural remedies used for various health problems, especially with infections.
The garlic soup is so efficient and powerful in solving various health problems due to the benefits that its ingredients offer. Both garlic and onion have antibiotic properties and the combination of these two, makes the soup highly beneficial. These vegetables were used many years ago by the people in ancient Babylon and Egypt.
These two ingredients can be also combined with thyme which contains volatile oils. It has many medicinal properties that destroy different bacteria and viruses. When combined in soup, these ingredients offer very powerful and effective natural remedy. This soup is extremely tasty and beneficial and also easy for digestion. It helps in the treatment of various infections and inflammatory problems. It is a natural antibiotic which replaces a lot of pharmaceutical drugs which cause side effects.
