Epstein Barr Cures Blog

There are some powerful herbs which you can take for the treatment of Epstein Barr - the virus that causes mononucleosis or glandular fever.

In the acute or initial stages of the illness, Epstein Barr symptoms can include sore throat, swollen glands, fatigue, muscle aches, headaches, nausea and fever.

Treatment of Epstein Barr at this stage is best with anti-viral herbs like garlic, echinacea and olive leaf extract. You can add these herbs to your diet or take them as teas, tinctures or capsules.

For chronic cases the best Epstein Barr treatment is a powerful effective herb called astragalus.

To help the liver, spleen and lymphatic system, which are normally compromised with this illness, the herbs milk thistle and red root are traditionally used.

If you have a lot of mucous in your respiratory tract then garlic, horseradish, fenugreek, sage and thyme are particularly good.

For those with a lot of inflammation like a sore throat or painful, inflamed muscles then Epstein Barr treatment should target the powerful anti-inflammatory herbs like ginger, cayenne and turmeric which can help ease the pain and swelling. When I had mononucleosis in my 20’s, I used to mix grated ginger and a teaspoon of turmeric into some Manuka honey and sip slowly. It worked beautifully on my sore throat.

For high fevers associated with this condition, coriander tea or cleavers can reduce the temperature and make you feel a little more comfortable.

For more details on Epstein Barr treatments it’s best to consult with a qualified health practitioner. And you can also refer to Chapter 2 in my e-book “Nature’s Amazing Mononucleosis Cures”. Learn more at www.MononucleosisCures.com
