5 Natural Antibiotics That Help Treat Indigestion

Manuka honey helps to treat high blood pressure, gastrointestinal problems, sinus infections and promotes proper digestion. Apply a dab of the honey topically to the skin surface areas.
2) Oil of Oregano - Oil of Oregano simulates the proper flow of bile, which cleanses out your digestive tract.

Mix 2 or 3 drops of the oil into a glass of milk or juice to treat mild indigestion. Oil of Oregano is also available in capsule form. Speak with your doctor before taking the oil in supplement form.
3) Colloidal Silver - The powerful anti-fungal and anti-parasitic components found in colloidal silver helps prevent against GERD and acid reflux issues.

You can add a few chopped or crushed garlic cloves to your soup, bake them in with your favorite dishes or eat them raw. Garlic is also available in capsule form, but make sure you consult your physician beforehand.
