Infections

Goldenseal herb is probably one of the most effective herbs for infections. It supports the body in its effort to kill bacteria that causes infection. In my experience, infections are gone or significantly cleared up within 3 days when this herb is used.

Goldenseal poultice. I use this to draw venom out of bee stings and help stop bacterial growth in open wounds. Mix goldenseal powder with enough pure water to make a paste, then apply. If the wound is especially nasty and I’m concerned about infection, I open a capsule of Goldenseal and mix it into Nature Sunshine’s Golden Salve, then apply it to the wound.

Colloidal silver can be applied externally by soaking a gauze pad in it, then applying to a wound, or it can be taken internally. I only use this in small amounts, for short periods of time.

Oregon Grape liquid extract is great for infections in the extremities, such as the legs, toes, fingers and sometimes even the brain. I have seen infections in legs clear up quickly even when the blood sugar was a problem.

Pycnogenols for infections and damage deep in the brain. Nature Sunshine carries a high potency pycnogenol, called High Potency Grapine, and a milder product called Grapine with Protectors. These can be taken with colostrum for extra nutrients and possibly quicker healing.

Sinus Infection will respond to a variety of things. Nature Sunshine has a variety of products that work for the sinuses, such as Sinus Support combination, Fenugreek and Thyme, colloidal silver sprayed up the nose, Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids, and/or Feverfew.
