Abstract
This paper tries to answer the research question: What is the comparative effectiveness of honey, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and tea tree oil against E. coli and S. aureus compared to standard antibiotics like ampicillin and tetracycline? If natural remedies were working together with antibiotics, as part of a comprehensive approach, they may help reduce the need for antibiotics. Using natural compounds can help with cost, machinery, etc., and can overall help safeguard health.
