Pretty much everyone will have to deal with an infection of some sort at some point in their life. This is especially true if you live on a farm, for you will not only have to watch over yourself and your family, but your animals will also claim your attention. We have had our fair share of infections, and while prevention is always better than cure, we have found an herbal cure that works almost every time. In fact, we have not had to apply a topical antibiotic for about eight years now, and rarely have we used an internal antibiotic. This is because we use an herb called Goldenseal . Goldenseal is an herb in the buttercup family which has been used for centuries, especially by the American Indians. It is an effective help or cure for a wide variety of disorders ranging from the common cold to mouthsores; stomach problems to bad cuts/ scrapes.
