If dying is ok: Sepsis should be treated with antibiotics aimed at the source of infection; often there is a need to support vital organs that are damaged by your body's response to the infection. Home remedies are just not adequate to the task of doing this. If you are ever so ill as to be septic, go strait to the best er of the best hospital in your area... Or more likely call an ambulance.

No!: There r no home remedies 4 sepsis. Sepsis requires prompt diagnosis & sophisticated treatment in the intensive care unit of a hospital. Early diagnosis & rapid treatment results in the best outcome. In other words, if u get the right diagnosis & treatment early, u have the best chance of full recovery from sepsis. Delay in diagnosis/treatment increases the risk of organ damage & death. Dr mike.
