Scout Out - Natural Antibiotic - Cold, Flu, Earaches

Created by Medicine Bear, a 7th-generation Cherokee herbalist, Scout Out has been one of our top sellers for decades. It's formulated with antibiotic herbs traditionally used to support the immune system during a rough cold, flu, or earache. Medicine Bear called it his "Antibiotic Tonic."*

Why families keep Scout Out on hand:

• Cherokee Heritage formula, created by 7th-generation herbalist Medicine Bear
• Formulated with antibiotic herbs, traditionally used to support the immune system
• One of our Top 10 best sellers for decades
• Delicious taste, no fighting sick kids to take their medicine
• No alcohol, sugar, soy, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, milk, egg, preservatives, or major allergens

This formula was passed on to our founder, Lyle Bennett, by the late Medicine Bear himself, and it's remained one of our most trusted go-tos for the deeper, harder stages of a cold or flu ever since. This isn't something we put together in a lab; it's a real formula with real history behind it. If you want to read more about the Cherokee herbal traditions this formula comes from, we've got a whole post on it: Understanding Herbal Use in Cherokee Medicine.*

Important Notes About Scout Out: 

Scout Out is intended for acute use, not as an everyday immune-support formula. It contains Goldenseal, which has a few important usage guidelines: 

• Don't use for more than 10 days in a row 
• Not recommended for children under 3
• Rare, but start with a small amount first to make sure your family isn't sensitive to Goldenseal

Looking for something to take regularly during cold and flu season instead? BactaMune and our Immune System Builder Wellness Kit are made for that. Save Scout Out for when you need to hit something hard.*

Scout Out is also included in our Earache Relief Wellness Kit and our Cold and Flu Day Time Kit.

Ingredients

Echinacea Angustifolia (Echinacea angustifolia): One of the most well-studied herbs for immune support, and the backbone of this formula. Traditionally used for generations and a go-to herb for acute illness by even mainstream/western medicine docs.*

Goldenseal Root (Hydrastis canadensis): A potent herb with a long history of use as a natural antibiotic, goldenseal lends its strength to the blend. It's also the reason Scout Out is for short-term, acute use rather than daily support.*

St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum): Better known for mood support, St. John's Wort also carries antiviral and antibacterial properties and works synergistically with the other herbs.*

Mullein (Verbascum thapsus): Best known as a respiratory herb, Mullein is also traditionally used for lymphatic support. We add it to Scout Out to help address multiple areas of concern.*

Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus): Included to support the body's natural detox process while the rest of the formula gets to work.*

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense): A gentle support for healthy lymph flow, useful when swollen glands show up alongside a cold or earache. Also works alongside Yellow Dock for detox support.*

Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica): Used in traditional herbal medicine for centuries to support the body during a fever or infection.*

Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha): A sacred, healing resin, strongly anti-inflammatory and included for immune as well as digestive support.*

Yucca Root (Yucca glauca): Often used in Indigenous Medicine as support for achy, inflamed tissue during a cold or flu.*

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis): Beyond its kitchen uses, rosemary has antimicrobial and antioxidant properties and improves Scout Out’s flavor.*

Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum): Warming and traditionally used for antibacterial and antiviral properties, cloves bring both flavor and function.*

All eleven herbs are in a base of Kosher Vegetable Glycerine and Reverse Osmosis Water, alcohol-free so it's easy to give to kids.*
