I found my must-have must-have!
Until this time, I was not so impressed by Herb's things, even the vaunted colostrum (I did not see any results from it). But grapefruit seed extract is truly powerful!

When we received it, the children caught some kind of virus. Runny nose, sore throat. I read that the extract is used for everything in the world)) And we also just received a dry mixture for rinsing the nose Xlear Inc (Xclear), Sinus Care Solution Sachets, Rapid Relief, 20 Count, 6 g Each
(inside the box there are 20 sachets of xylitol, sea ​​salt and soda and a small sample):

Each package holds approximately 200 ml of water. This, one might say, is 40 jars of aquamaris for ridiculous money. I diluted half a packet in a spray bottle and added 3 drops of extract. We sprayed our throat and nose with this solution several times, I drank the extract internally (with water, of course - it cannot be taken undiluted. And stir well! It settles well at the bottom), and we did not get sick. Then my finger got inflamed. I dropped the extract on it at night, and the next morning my finger no longer hurt. This is rare for me, to be honest. Because once it starts to get inflamed, it will hurt for several days, and you need to apply levomekol... But then it went away. Then somehow I had severe nausea- It is quite possible that she was poisoned. I immediately dropped 15 drops of the extract into a cup of water, and within 15 minutes I felt better. On this day I drank another 15 drops per cup again.
I will give it to the child because he has it in his intestines Staphylococcus aureus V large quantities, and the extract defeats him too.
Grapefruit seed extract - natural antibiotic, struggling with pathogenic bacteria, but does not disrupt the beneficial intestinal microflora. You can even take it against heliobacteria. And disinfect the premises by adding it to the water for washing floors.
I'm honestly very surprised that it works. Because it sounds like some kind of fairy tale - once - and it helped.
I will definitely take it with me on the road, including as an antiseptic. And always keep it in your first aid kit - cool thing!
