  • African Potato, Schizandra Sinensis and Astragalus: they help the defense system against viruses.
  • Buchu: acts as an antiviral remedy, which has the added advantages of antiseptic and anti-oxidant (fights free radicals). It is more preventive than remedy in action.
  • Peppermint: has a known effect on tuberculosis.
  • Dragon's blood: not literally but, it's a good antiviral agent on herpes.
