There is no such herb. You are seeking a cure-all and it doesn't exist. Moreover, if it were indeed a bactericidal, then you would have major stomach problems as we need the bacterial flora to digest food. There are herbal laxatives, but avoid the laxative routine...many people virtually develop an addiction to them. A good diet and exercise will solve that. You will get countless answers reccommending green tea, ginseng, etc etc...but there is no proof that any of these products has done anything. Many effects are purely psychological...'I feel so much better since I began to eat parsley'...it may work but there is no documentation on many of these claims....Live a normal life, with a good diet and exercise and you will be healthy.

it depends
where in the body is it ? is it IN the body? or on the body? In the digestive system ? in the nasal cavaty/ nose / sinuses ? somewhere else?
what are you trying to eliminate, toxins ? or bacteria ?
If its in the digestive system, caraway (as in caraway-seed bread) has antibacterial/antifungal effect (its why they used to add caraway seeds to bread -- so mold doesn't grow), and cloves inhibits fungus growth ... and dill, fennel, cinammon, sage, thyme, anise, allspice have strong antifungal properties, and still healthy to eat. Peppermint, and garlic, not necessarily together of course, are also very good. There are some other natural solutions not involving herbs, though its beyond the limit of your question, it could help...the beneficial bacteria in yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, and regular cheeses help to control the bad bacteria in the digestive system too. If its in the nose or sinuses, a simple saline (basically salt-water) spray sometimes surprisingly works wonders, and no side effects or overdose worries. Sorry thats not an herb though.

charcoal...
CHARCOAL (ACTIVATED)
Charcoal, Activated [Digestive] has been used for at least 2,000 years and is well-known for its adsorptive ability. It is often used to support the body’s cleansing and detoxification mechanisms as it helps bind toxins in the digestive tract. It may also help the body’s efforts to expel intestinal gas. Each capsule contains 260 mg activated charcoal.
Take 4–8 capsules daily with water at least two hours after or one hour before eating a meal.

I recommend a healthy amount of green tea and white tea. Try blends. Green tea is not as flavorful as black tea, but they have a lot of blends that spice them up.
