Answer:
Tea Tree oil is an antiseptic type thing….and Echanacia is as close as I've heard to an antibiotic. Wouldn't know a thing about penicillan….I wouldn't try anything with it…..what do you start with, mold? White, orange or green??? Too complicated.
Answer:
Vinegar, lemon, alcohol, and salt are natural antiseptics. Maggots clean out septics. Cat mint and lavender are mild pain relievers. Vinegar also reduces the adverse reactions of bug and insect bites and some snake bites.
Eating moldy bread was a cure-all before someone discovered how to extract the penicillin from it. Mold that forms on bread, in jam jars, and in salsa jars all contain a moderate amount of penicillin, as does mold on melons. There are even some die-hards that believe putrid, rotted meats contain antibiotics.
Echinacea is an immune booster and moderate antibiotic. Tea tree oil is used as a healant and has mild antibiotic properties. Aloe heals burns and minor cuts, and is a soother. Vitamin C and E heal. Vitamin C is also a mild pain reliever (frequently used for cats which are alergic to most pain relievers).
Pekoe tea has some of the highest healing properties around (all those antioxidants) from a topical dressing to ingestions (in fact, there was an article a couple of days ago of the health and curative properties of tea).
Honey soothes and has some curative properties. Local honey is particularly good for hay fever allergies as the honey from the plants that cause allergies creates an immunity to them.
Answer:
Not sure the type of penicillin you might be able to extract from mold would be any use now adays or in an end of the world type situation because of the overuse of antibiotics and drug resistant strains of bacteria like MRSA. Some natural antiseptics are tea tree oil and certain other essential oils. They used to use colloidal silver as a natural antibiotic before they had penicillin etc…It can turn your skin blue/grey if you use too much or too high of a concentration over time.
Answer:
There are no naturally occurring antibiotics, unless you want to eat mouldy bread which I wouldn't suggest doing unless you want to be violently ill.
The correct term for all of the things mentioned above are antibacterials not antiseptics.
Colloidal Silver will not turn you blue if properly made as opposed to diy kits that people use at home.
Teatree
Honey (Manuka not normal honey)
Olive Leaf extract
Orange Oil
Pine
Eucalyptus
Lemon Eucalyptus
Never place essential oils directly on the skin. Always mix in a small amount of carrier oil.
Hope this helps

Answer:
Neem oil is a great antiseptic. I've used it on animal bites to prevent infection (and therefore avoid the need for antibiotics) and it's worked wonders. It's also availabe in a powder that can be mixed with water to make a paste. It's from India. I do have to admit however that the smell is kind of intenese and not so plesant. Neem can also be taken internally. It's worth researching further if you're serious about avoiding antibiotics.
