Honey
Since the time of Aristotle, honey has been used as an ointment that helps to heal wounds and prevent or pull out the infection. Health professionals today feel helpful in treating chronic injuries, burns, ulcers and bedsores.

Researchers also explore the power of ginger to overcome seasickness and nausea and lower blood sugar levels.

A study published in the Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology reports that Echinacea purpurea extract can kill many types of bacteria, including Streptococcus pyogenes (S. pyogenes).
S. pyogenes is responsible for strep throat, toxic shock syndrome, and "meat-eating disease" known as necrotizing fasciitis.
