Antiseptic

Antiseptic agents work by inhibiting bacterial, fungal, or viral growth, often used to clean wounds, reduce infection risks, or protect skin and mucous membranes. Herbs with antiseptic properties are rich in bioactive compounds that combat microbes and support healing. Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) is a powerful antiseptic, commonly used in wound care and skin infections. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), with its soothing and antimicrobial qualities, is effective for minor burns and cuts. Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), due to its thymol content, is a strong antiseptic often used for topical applications. These herbs provide natural, gentle alternatives for maintaining cleanliness and promoting recovery in minor injuries and infections.
