Natural Healing Foods

[Sansa 39]

Infections seem to be a leading cause of problems with the surgery which led me to start looking at what kind of foods that I can eat that can help prevent infection. I have used raw garlic and echinacea tea for years to fight off sinus infections. I also like to eat raw ginger when my stomach is nauseous. However, a lot of people can't seem to eat spicy food following the surgery so I'm wondering if those spicy foods include garlic and ginger?

I have also found out that drinking chamomile and goldenseal teas help fight infections. Honey is also supposed to be antiseptic, however, I imagine that it must be too sweet after the surgery? Has anyone else used natural foods and herbs following the surgery?

Cant say I have used herbs since my surgery but I have had garlic and ginger both and I am a spicy food addict and have had no issues at all.
