Herbal remedy with virostatic and antiviral action

摘要

The invention concerns a plant-based agent having an anti-viral and virustatic effect. Diseases caused by DNA viruses of the herpes family or by DNA hepatitis B or C viruses have hitherto only been treated prophylatically with expensive agents (e.g. acyclovir, interferon). Patients suffering from chronic allergic rhino-sino-bronchitis are generally administered corticoids and anti-histamines which likewise have serious side-effects. The invention is intended to be a risk-free, effective and economical alternative therapy for the above diseases. Wormwood and/or mastic resin and/or the fruit of Delphinium denudatum satisfy the above requirements. The addition of rose petals and/or cardamom fruit and/or borage flowers has a synergistic effect. The invention is suitable for treating diseases caused by type 1, 2 and 6 herpes simplex viruses, varicella-zoster viruses, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, DNA hepatitis B or C viruses (chronically active hepatitis) and for chronic allergic rhino-sino-bronchitis and also as support therapy for HIV infections, pre-carcinoma of the cervix, and after organ transplants.
