Earth Clinic's most popular remedy for MRSA is turmeric. Turmeric can be used internally or externally; many use it both ways! Vitamin C, a good diet and strict sanitary procedures are important when dealing with MRSA.
A therapeutic dose of turmeric is 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder in a glass of milk or water three times a day. It is best to take turmeric with a bit of fat and black pepper, so taking the turmeric in full fat milk with a sprinkle of black pepper is ideal. While some enjoy the flavor of turmeric milk or turmeric tea, others do not. Turmeric capsules are an alternative. 4-5 capsules 3 times a day is the suggested amount to take for MRSA. Because turmeric can be constipating for some, always take turmeric with a full glass of water.
Turmeric can be made into a paste for easy application topically. There are many different things that can be mixed with turmeric that also have healing properties.
Spread your paste onto the MRSA boils. Cover with a bandage. Change at least twice a day, or more if the boils are draining. Wash hands thoroughly after changing bandages.
Cohesive tape works well to attach gauze pads instead of adhesive bandages. Adhesive bandages used repeatedly can cause damage to health skin and increase the risk of the infection spreading.
Turmeric can be bought very inexpensively in bulk at health food stores and Indian grocers. It can also be bought online. Look for an organic brand from a reputable source. Turmeric capsules can usually be found at larger pharmacies, in health food stores, and online.
