Yes I forgot Tea Tree oil. I have heard it's not wise to use it for cats though. But it is a wonderful antiseptic/antifungal. And I love the smell of it.
Garlic is underestimated as a remedy. It is very good. I once had a serious infection from a rose thorn scratch on my head. There was a very bad reaction to the antibiotic I was prescribed. It made me feel like I was having a heart attack, or something. So I decided to take matters into my own hands. (I had no choice.) I took 2 garlic cloves mashed up 3 times a day in a bowlful of grated apple. I didn't eat anything else and only drank water. The first dose tasted okay but it wasn't so easy after that. It was a horrible diet. But in 2 days I was starting to feel better. In 4 days I was more or less cured. And no terrifying side effects. Except I found it hard to eat either garlic or an apple for ages afterwards! LOL
(I am not suggesting this would suit anyone else, and infections of that nature can be very dangerous and lead to septicemia. Not everyone has violent reactions to most antibiotics like I do. It is by far wiser to take the doctor's advice most of the time.)
