Related Applications
Antibacterial and Anti-inflammatory
Antibiotics are medicines that kill microorganisms and cure bacterial infections. Conventional medicine has produced a number of antibiotics, which doctors prescribe for a variety of infectious conditions. There are also several herbs used as natural antibiotics that are considered antibacterial or antimicrobial. Some medicines not only have an anesthetization function but also have the ability to decrease swelling, alleviate pain, resist bacteria, diminish inflammation, disinfect and sterilize. Herbal extract possesses these activities with lower toxicities.
