The winter season is a period of increased incidence of infections. Most patients reach for antibiotics as an effective and proven medicine. Unfortunately, an antibiotic is not inert to the body - it does not have the ability to distinguish between good bacteria and bad bacteria. By destroying pathogenic micro-organisms, it also destroys the good ones , which are part of the natural and protective bacterial flora. More and more people are abandoning synthetic antibiotics in their treatment and making use of the health benefits of natural antibiotics.
