This natural penicillin is easy and can be made in just 10 minutes. The basis of this helpful paste is horseradish, which we have combined with the superfoods ginger and turmeric – a perfect combination with a strong antibacterial effect.

Step 1

For the horseradish paste, puree the horseradish together with the ginger and turmeric roots , 70 ml lemon juice and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar in a blender for approx. 1 minute.

Step 2

Then add 2 tablespoons of yacon syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon and mix for 1 minute until you get a homogeneous mixture.

Season with 1 pinch of black pepper and stir again.

Step 3

Then fill the natural penicillin into a tightly sealable jar and store in a cool, dry place.

Step 4

Recommendation: In the case of acute colds, you can take 1 teaspoon of the mixture daily before breakfast and 1 teaspoon before lunch. The amount lasts one person 5 days.

Tip: If this mixture is too spicy for you, you can also proceed as follows: Stir 1 teaspoon of the paste into 250 ml of warm water and heat briefly in it. Then pour into a cup over a sieve and drink.

Step 5

Note: Since we keep receiving emails/comments telling us that the term “penicillin” is misleading and wrong because none of the ingredients contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid, we would like to comment briefly on this: The natural “penicillin” is a recipe from Bavarian folk medicine. There it has been referred to as “penicillin” for decades, although of course it is not real penicillin and it does not contain any active ingredients that make up real penicillin. Luckily. Because we want to present a more digestible alternative. Studies on the antibacterial effects of the ingredients (horseradish, turmeric and ginger) can be found in the links next to the list of ingredients.

Of course, if your doctor prescribed penicillin or antibiotics, you should not replace them with the natural penicillin yourself. However, the natural penicillin can be used very well as an accompaniment. It is also a very helpful remedy for infections of the upper respiratory tract (cold, sinusitis) and also for infections in the mouth.
