Licorice Root Extract: This herb contains a substance called glycyrrhizin that makes it hard for a virus to attach to and invade a cell and hinders its ability to replicate, slowing the spread from one cell to another. Chinese doctors used it with other traditional herbs to combat COVID-19, and stud- ies have shown it effective against an earlier coronavirus, as well as against HIV, herpes, viral hepatitis and respi- ratory infections. For dosage, follow package directions. People with high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, kidney disease or low potassium levels are advised against its use.
Astragalus: Known as huang qi, astraga- lus “is one of the most powerful herbs used in Chinese medicine for people with weakened immune systems,” says Tsao-Lin Moy, a New York City acu- puncturist and herbalist. It’s best taken as a hot or cold tea using tea bags or the root itself.
Andrographis: This herb has long been used for colds and throat infections in China and India, and may prevent flu vi- ruses from binding to cells. In a Swedish study, flu patients that took an androgra- phis extract along with Siberian ginseng recovered more quickly with fewer com- plications than those given a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved flu medication. Because of its potency, it’s best to consult a health practitioner to avoid interactions. The recommended dosage is 400 mg twice a day.
