(You guessed it) How to treat hay fever naturally at home without having to visit a doctor for a prescription for antibiotics.
Impurities are the most common skin infection in babies and young children.
Outbreaks occur most often during the summer months when the air is warm and humid, but infections can also occur during cooler, drier seasons.
Pestilence is characterized by red sores on the face and/or feet and hands. (1)
The unsightly sore will burst open in about a week, leaving a honey-colored scab.
Conventional treatment
As you might expect, the standard traditional treatment for impetigo is to prescribe a strong (mupirocin) antibiotic ointment.
If you have more than a few wounds, your doctor may also prescribe internal antibiotics. (2)
Do doctors have other tools at their disposal besides drugs and surgery?
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case!
If you're a parent who wants to avoid drugs that destroy gut and skin flora, do your own research!
Home remedies for impetigo
Luckily, treating dandruff at home is very easy!
You may be tempted to avoid seeing a doctor altogether (I definitely would!).
Of course, I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice. But here are some things you can do at home to help yourself:
This is kind advice from someone who has successfully raised three children without ever taking antibiotics.
In our toxic drug culture, I think this is one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. It shows that this is definitely possible!
External treatment
Any parent who wants to break the vicious cycle of taking antibiotics that are harming their children's health should know that allicin, found in garlic, is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics.
This product selectively targets only pathogens, leaving good microbes alone (unlike colloidal silver or other products promoted by alternative medicine circles).
To treat dandruff externally, simply mix the following solution in a small glass bottle or bowl: (3)
- 3 regular strength Allimax capsules (180mg each)
- 18 drops of filtered water
- Mix well.
- Apply 2 drops to the affected area 4 times daily until the infection subsides.
- To maintain effectiveness, refrigerate the liquid between treatments.
- Mix fresh solution as needed.
If you prefer to buy infused liquid instead of making it yourself (which is more cost effective), you can buy it here.
It's done!
Internal treatment
In severe cases of thrush, it may be wise to consider both external and internal treatments.
The suggested dosage is four Alimax capsules per day, taken in divided doses (2:00 am/2:00 pm). (4)
To avoid stomach upset (since allicin is a potent sulfur compound), it is recommended to take the capsules with meals.
If your child is not yet able to swallow small capsules, you can also take a few drops of the above solution internally (mix more if necessary).
6 drops are equivalent to 1 Alimax capsule (180 mg of allicin).
NOTE: Using raw garlic is not effective. One Alimax capsule contains almost the same amount of allicin as over 24 cloves of garlic!
Should everyone in the home be treated?
The generally accepted view is that all friends and family members who have been in contact with a child with impetigo should be treated to prevent the “spread” of the infection.
However, my approach is to treat only patients with active infection.
I call this the “do nothing” approach to disease, which I learned from my father, who was a doctor in our country.
Simply put, adopting a “wait and see” approach gives your immune system a chance to strengthen and become stronger when faced with a challenge.
This is why children who play outside barefoot in (unsprayed) grass and dirt have much stronger immune systems than children who play in sterile environments.
This is why children who drink raw milk have stronger immune systems than children who eat pasteurized and low-temperature pasteurized milk.
