Antimicrobial Effects of the Folk Remedy "Amish Amoxicillin" Against Staphylococcus aureus.
The popularity of natural remedies, often amplified by social media, has led many to turn to home treatments like "Amish Amoxicillin" (AA) in place of traditional medicine. Promoted as a "natural" cure for infectious disease symptoms, AA has gained viral attention despite little scientific validation. This study tested the antimicrobial effects of AA against Staphylococcus aureus and evaluated the contribution of its individual ingredients. We found that AA has measurable inhibitory activity in vitro , primarily due to garlic and vinegar. However, it lacks evidence to support its use over conventional treatments.
