Researchers at Cork Institute of Technology have revealed that they have discovered that a flower known as inula helenium kills MRSA bacteria.
Inula Helenium is a tall plant that grows wild in Cork and it blossoms in late summer. CIT also researched another plant, pulsatilla vulgaris, which also proved to be effective in killing MRSA. Extracts from both plants were tested on a group of 300 staphylococci and the inula helenium was 100% effective at killing the superbug.
The odd thing here is that I haven’t read yet about the world sitting up and noticing this. I just think we won’t hear a lot about potential cures that don’t enrich the pharmaceutical companies. Plants, silver, Phage Therapy, and other effective treatments seem to never make mainstream news. But I though the news belonged in my site.
