Our Naturopaths Say
An antiseptic is a substance that stops or slows down the growth of microorganisms. They're frequently used in hospitals and other medical settings to reduce the risk of infection during surgery and other procedures. In our daily lives, there are so many options we can add to our household for prevention - Some natural antiseptics include witch hazel, thyme, calendula, tea tree oil, eucalyptus, lavender and grapefruit seed extract. The botanical extracts have natural antiseptic properties and can be used to treat or stave off infected blemishes, pimples and acne.
