Tea with Antimicrobial Properties: Try Cistus incanus

Cistus incanus is a tea with antimicrobial properties, as well as anti-fungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.

Microbial infections occur as a result of the presence of pathogenic microbes in the body or the body’s immune response to their presence. Pathogenic microbes may be transmitted into the human body through living vectors, air, food, or even water. Whether you are shaking hands, rubbing your eyes, eating a meal, or simply enjoying the fresh breeze at the ocean, these microbes are everywhere.

According to recent reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), microbial resistance to antimicrobials is a growing concern in the US and around the globe. Along with treatment from the medical community, it may prove helpful to drink tea with antimicrobial properties to provide added immune health support and to help fight back pathogenic microbes.

According to the CDC, more than 2.8 million people in the U.S. face infections that are resistant to antibiotics, and more than 35,000 people die annually due to antibiotic-resistant infections. It is important for a collaborative approach across all public health sectors, including scientific research on herbs with antimicrobial properties, to help address this public threat.
