What Are the Treatments for Staph Infections?

Staph infections can be minor and caused by naturally occurring staph bacteria that we all have minute amounts on our body. They can become severe if left untreated and can invade the body at very deep levels through minor cuts and scrapes.

Localized infections

• Small cuts, blisters and boils can become infected if they aren't cleaned and disinfected properly. Antibacterial soap and ointment should be used to clean and protect minor injuries.

More serious infections

• Serious staph infections, such as MRSA, may require intravenous antibiotics (i.e. Vancomycin) to administered for up to six weeks at a time. These type of infections must be monitored by a physician.

Boost your immune system

• Boosting your immune system with proper diet and natural vitamin and mineral supplements will reduce your body's susceptibility to infection. Natural supplements are assimilated more easily by the body than synthetics.

Essential oils

• Food-grade quality essential oils are beneficial in fighting most infections. The oils are the most effective and are found in most health food stores.

Prevention before infection

• Prevention is the best method of treatment. Washing hands often and keeping wounds clean and treated will prevent most infections from spreading.
