With viruses making all the headlines, many people are wondering about antiviral herbs. In this article I will describe antiviral herbs and address how they work. How Do Antiviral Herbs Work?
When we hear the term antiviral, it’s easy to jump to the conclusion that they work just like pharmaceutical antibiotic drugs. In other words, if you have an infection, then you take something to kill the pathogens.
But herbal antivirals don’t work that way. In fact, they simply can’t work like pharmaceuticals. Let’s take a step back to see the difference between a bacterium and a virus. Bacteria are living organisms that come in a variety of shapes and have a cell wall. Bacteria live in close association with plants and animals. Virtually all animal life on earth is dependent on bacteria, as they synthesize vitamin B12 into the food chain. As you know, we also have billions of beneficial bacteria living in our guts! However, some bacteria can cause infectious diseases, which can be controlled with antibiotics or antimicrobial herbs. Viruses, however, are on the edge of life. They don’t have a cell wall and are not able to reproduce on their own, thus they need a host cell in order to replicate themselves. When you have a viral infection, the viruses have invaded your cells. Controlling a viral infection is problematic because the virus is replicating from inside your own cells. Instead of killing viral cells, what herbal antivirals can do is inhibit the virus from attaching to your cell walls or inhibit the replication of the virus once it gets into your cells. This herbal help can then give your immune system the upper hand to clean up the rest of the infection.
