Staph infection is a common problem caused by staphylococcus bacteria, commonly found on the skin. An infection occurs when the bacteria penetrate the skin through an opening or lesion. Staph infection causes a range of signs and symptoms.

Some of the skin infections caused by the staphylococcus bacteria are boils, impetigo, cellulitis, and staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome.

This bacterium also causes food poisoning with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration and low blood pressure.

This problem is contagious and can affect anyone, but some people are at a higher risk of developing this infection. They include diabetics, nursing mothers, small babies and people with weak immune systems, respiratory illnesses, kidney failure requiring dialysis, cancer and other chronic diseases.

The infection can spread easily through cuts, abrasions and skin-to-skin . It can also spread from one part of the body to another through touch.

If not treated timely, staph infection can progress to conditions that are more pervasive. So, do consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

In addition, certain kitchen ingredients and herbs can also help treat the infection. Home treatments focus on easing the symptoms, quick healing and preventing further progression.

Follow either of the remedies once or twice daily until you are satisfied with the results.

Note: Do not consume tea tree oil orally as it can lead to side effects.

2. Manuka Honey

Manuka honey, a special type of honey from New Zealand, contains natural antibacterial and healing properties that can help control a staph infection. It sterilizes the wound, speeds up healing, and eradicates the infection.

According to a 2002 study published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology, the phytochemicals in Manuka honey help inhibit the growth of the bacteria causing the infection.

8. Echinacea

echinacea

Contemporary herbalists consider echinacea an effective remedy for staph infection. This herb contains antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and immune-stimulant properties that help ease the symptoms as well as promote recovery.

  • Apply echinacea cream or ointment topically on boils, open wounds or skin rashes a few times a day.
  • Drink 1 to 2 cups of echinacea tea a day.
  • You can also take echinacea supplements, after consulting your doctor.

  2. Leave it on for a few hours, then wash it off.
  3. Reapply several times a day until the infection is gone.

You can also take a few tablespoons of extra-virgin coconut oil internally.

10. Eucalyptus Oil

The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory actions of eucalyptus oil are effective against staphylococcus aureus and act as a useful broad-spectrum drug against antibiotic-resistant disease.

According to another 2010 study published in the Phytomedicine journal, the synergistic effects of eucalyptus oil are effective against antibiotic-susceptible and antibiotic-resistant pathogens.

Dilute a few drops of eucalyptus oil in any carrier oil like olive or almond oil. Apply this diluted oil directly on wounds, cuts and skin infections and leave it on for a few hours before rinsing it off. Repeat twice daily for a few days.

Additional Tips

  • To help boils ripen quickly, apply a warm compress at regular intervals.
  • Do not touch the affected skin if you have sores or open wounds as it may delay the healing process.
  • Maintain a high level of hygiene to prevent the infection from spreading to other areas of the body or to other people.
  • Wash your hands properly before eating anything. Make sure to use a hand sanitizer.
  • Keep wounds, cuts and abrasions clean and covered with sterile, dry bandages until they heal.
  • Avoid sharing personal items with others.
  • Wash clothing and bedding in hot water and dry them under direct sunlight.

    Ahh yes, teamwork. I have or get staph locally from my own saliva being on something (a pipe) that is another way to get it from dried saliva. I did not know about the cure from ACV but I drink is weekly. I didnt know Turmeric was a cure either. I found from my own experience about garlix (garlics) cure.

    Staph aureus infection is better tackled naturally especially when it has stayed untreated for so long in your body. Conventional drugs from experience only alleviate most of the obvious symptoms of staph but total cure is seldom achieved. A good herbal preparation, lifestyle changes, diet regimen and proper hygiene over 60 to 90 days course will totally eradicate staph from your body. Remember there is no quick fix to staph treatment, unless you want to throw away your hard earned money. Probiotics and fruits and vegetables and exercises are also helpful.
