Herbal Antivirals: Heal Yourself Faster, Cheaper and Safer - Your A-Z Guide to Choosing, Preparing and Using the Most Effective Natural Antiviral Herbs Paperback – March 10, 2017

Lots of info and explanations of what each herb does and how to use it.

As expected. Had all the basics for herbal remedies. Informational!

Very interesting book.

I enjoy learning about healing herbs. The book has a lot of information in it. The printing is iffy on a few pages. The printer was having an issue with feeding or ink, making the center of the page blurry and hard to read. I would also prefer color pictures on the inside, but I can always Google the herb for an accurate depiction in color.

Since the first book, Herbal Antibiotics, was such an enjoyable read, I snatched this book off of the digital shelves the moment it came up for Free! Mary Jones provides helpful insight and answers the elusive question, just what are herbal antivirals? Well, think of a medicine you would take for a viral infection, and then substitute or add natural herbal ingredients which can alleviate some of the symptoms. Ask a physician first! She tells the dos and don'ts when using both types of medications, whether that be herbal or conventional, and advises what to avoid when suffering from viral infections.She provides so many different ideas for herbal antivirals. From cats claw which protects the immune system to betony which works to fight the influenza virus, you will find an herb that will help alleviate probably all of your viral diseases, to an extent of course. Very professional look and layout with so many resourceful graphs, pictures, and links to videos. The instructions are clear, and dosages are easy to follow. Tells you what to avoid if you are pregnant or suffering other illnesses. Jones even provides recipes to help alleviate and prevent, and don't even get me started about the cinnamon and elderberry soup! It was refreshing and so exhilarating to rid my body of toxins. All in all, the book provides excellent information and great alternatives to conventional medicine.

I bought this book to learn more about natural remedies that help the body to defend itself against viral infections. This easy to read book was nice for offering basic knowledge on herbal remedies that can be made at home as a first aid for usual illnesses.What I liked most of all was that all 45 mentioned herbal antivirals had an interesting youtube video explaining. I was happy to find out that many of the antiviral herbs like cinnamon, garlicI had in my kitchen. However I read more about other herbs that I didn’t know before such as ashwagandha and Siberian ginseng. The links to where to find and buy the herb were very useful. I also liked that the writer mentions the potential side effects of the herbs, the contraindications and the alternatives. That is extremely important because most of the books write about positive effects and don't mention side- effects.For example I didn’t know that cinnamon is not recommended for people who use blood thinning medication.It means that if you decide to use natural remedies you should consult the doctor or herbal therapist.for the right dosage. I really recommend this book for everyone who want to know more about antiviral herbs and their advantages!

Never know when you might have a need for this type of information. Good book to keep around for an emergency.

I downloaded this book to keep me occupied during a flight and I'm glad I did. It was exactly the right length to hold my attention. It was long enough to be worth my time yet short enough to avoid being overwhelming. While the subject matter is presented in a way that is well within reach for any novice, I found that the author did a nice job of providing evidence I had not run across before. In this book, she presents myriad new studies that corroborate what traditional herbalists have been teaching for centuries.This book is well-researched-- the author ACTUALLY cites her sources throughout the book.I enjoyed the kindle format for this book-- the hyperlinks to other chapters referenced within the book made for a much tiger experience than I would have gotten from a hard-copy book.
