Herbal Extracts Plus' Support for Mononucleosis is a blend of all-natural herbal extracts that help combat the effects of mononucleosis. Infectious mononucleosis (mono) or glandular fever is often called the kissing disease. The label is only partly true. Kissing can spread the virus that causes this disease, but more commonly, coughing, sneezing or sharing a glass or cup transmits mononucleosis. It's not highly contagious. Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, and there is no specific treatment for infectious mononucleosis, other than treating the symptoms. No conventional antiviral drugs or vaccines are available. Therefore, herbal medicine is an excellent choice for assistance. Symptoms of mononucleosis include fatigue, sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, headache, rash, and loss of appetite. These symptoms can last up to eight weeks. The herbal ingredients in this mononucleosis remedy help to reduce inflammation, strengthen and stimulate the immune system, and promote healing.

Herbal Ingredient Information:
The following information is a brief overview describing each of the above herbal ingredients and what properties each contributes to make up this proprietary blend.
- Echinacea Purpurea works by cranking-up the immune system to ward off disease and infection. There is evidence that they may mimic the action of interferon, a natural chemical in the body that is capable of shielding cells from viral invasion. As an antiviral and antibacterial, Echinacea not only kills bacteria and viruses but also actually strengthens immunity by increasing the number of white blood cells in the blood stream. According to German researchers, these herbs are said to increase the levels of infection-fighting T-cells by 30 percent, thereby building immune strength. The herb combats all types of inflammation, eases swollen glands, hemorrhoids, tonsillitis, sore throat, and enlarged prostate. Echinacea promotes tissue regeneration. It is considered an "alterative," an herb that gradually converts an unhealthy organ condition to a healthy organ and gradually facilitates beneficial changes in body.
- Maitake Mushroom is said to be the most powerful immune-stimulant of all the mushrooms. The most important compound, the polysaccharide beta-1,6-glucan, is said to stimulate immune function by enhancing the activity of key immune cells known as T-helper cells or CD4 cells. Maitake Mushroom is considered an adaptogen, an agent that increases resistance to stress and helps the body adapt to stressful conditions and normalize bodily functions when those functions have been altered.
- Ginkgo Biloba improves blood and oxygen flow to the brain and has been most effective in treating senility, dementia, depression, anxiety, forgetfulness, inability to concentrate, and ADD (attention deficit disorder) in adults. As an astringent, antifungal, and antibacterial, Ginkgo helps to ward off kidney infections, diphtheria, dysentery, hemorrhoids, toxic shock, and has a beneficial effect on the urinary system, treating incontinence and excessive urination. It is also useful in treating vaginal infection.
- Goldenseal Root is an immensely popular herb that has long been used as an immune enhancer and a body cleanser that promotes healthy glandular functions. In laboratory studies, the berberine in Goldenseal was thought to increase blood flow to the spleen and stimulate the activity of macrophages, blood cells that are an important part of the immune system. The berberine may also increase the secretion of bile. In regulating healthy glands, the herb is said to be of overall benefit to the liver, pancreas, spleen, and lymphatic system. Goldenseal Root has a reputation for being a natural antibiotic. Used at the first sign of a cold, flu, or sore throat, it may stop further symptoms from developing. The berberine content in Goldenseal also possesses strong antibiotic and antiseptic activity against a wide variety of bacteria and fungi, combating vaginal inflammations, sore throat, and bladder and intestinal infections.
- Pau D'Arco is considered an immune enhancer that is believed to strengthen and stimulate the immune system to produce macrophages, immune cells that engulf and digest bacteria. The herb is said to combat chronic degenerative diseases, increase energy and stamina and has been used as part of a treatment to eradicate environmentally produced allergies and asthma. Pau D'Arco possesses significant and potent antiviral and anti-fungal properties and has been used as an effective treatment against viruses, yeast infections, herpes simplex, flu, gonorrhea, athlete's foot, warts, syphilis, venereal disease, and vaginitis. Pau D'Arco is also an effective anti-inflammatory and painkiller.
- Milk Thistle detoxifies the liver and gallbladder and the poisons that enter our blood stream by enhancing overall liver function. As a free-radical scavenger it protects the liver from toxins and pollutants by preventing free radical damage, and it also stimulates the production of new liver cells. It is considered a remarkable herb for treating cirrhosis, alcoholic poisoning, jaundice, fatty liver, hepatitis, and viral hepatitis. A flavonoid complex (silymarin) stimulates liver protein creation, enabling the organ to produce new liver cells and replace the old ones damaged by hepatitis infection or other toxins.
- Astragalus Root is a mild stimulant that combats fatigue and prolonged stress. It is used to increase metabolism, stamina, strength, and vitality. It is considered an adaptogen, an herb that tends to normalize body functions and reinstate metabolic balance after physically and emotionally stressful situations have altered those functions. It helps the body to adapt and return to a sense of well-being. This tonic is reputed to protect the immune system and promote resistance against disease. It is said to be useful in treating immune-deficiency related problems by stimulating the activity of T-helper cells. Astragalus is also an anti-inflammatory. It is effective for chronic lung weakness and promotes general healing.
- Dandelion Root is an excellent nutritive that is a valuable source of sodium, minerals (especially potassium), large amounts of vitamins A, B-complex, C, and D, and trace elements. The inulin content in Dandelion is thought to be an "immuno-stimulatory," boosting the function of the immune system. As a blood purifier, Dandelion is considered an excellent treatment that cleanses poisons from the body. Through its action both on the liver and kidneys, it gently eliminates toxic wastes from the body. The natural nutritive salts purify the blood and also help neutralize the acids in the blood. The roots are sometimes used as a healthy coffee substitute or as an addition to coffee. In fact, it acts as an antidote to many of coffee's detrimental effects on the body and is especially helpful in cases of dyspepsia.
- Garlic is an antioxidant and a stimulant that works to boost the immune system and increase physical endurance. It enhances good digestion by increasing bile production and reducing stomach gases. Garlic includes germanium, a mineral that also strengthens the immune system. It activates germ-eating macrophages, cells that are produced by the immune system. Garlic is also known to act as an antiviral and anti-fungal agent.
- Cayenne is called a carrier or catalyst herb that increases the efficacy of almost every other herb or herbal combination. Cayenne speeds up the metabolism of fat and may reduce weight gain due to a high fat diet by increasing the liver enzymes accountable for fat metabolism and decreases fat deposits in the liver caused by a high fat diet. It provides natural heat, and its ingredient, capsaicin, is a strong pain-relieving agent that alleviates the joint pain of arthritis, rheumatism, muscle spasms, cramps, and bowel pain. Cayenne/Capsicum also triggers the release of endorphins (chemicals that relieve pain) by the brain.
- Citrus Bioflavonoids are said to have antibacterial and antiviral properties. Citrus Bioflavonoids are also thought to be a good source of antioxidants that act as free radical scavengers searching for and engulfing the unstable molecules that are produced during the body's use of oxygen that may cause damage to tissues and cells. Although bioflavonoids are not true vitamins, they are sometimes referred to as vitamin P, because they possess the healthful qualities of vitamins. Citrus Bioflavonoids are a class of flavonoids that also include rutin, hesperidin, quercetin, eriodictyl and citron, and are essential for the absorption of vitamin C. Normally found in highly nutritious foods, such as citrus, nuts, fruits, vegetables and plants, they must be supplied through the diet, because the body cannot produce them.
- Peppermint is a stimulant that acts more powerfully on the system than any liquor, quickly diffusing through the system and bringing back to the body its natural warmth and glow. Peppermint is a "nervine" that eases nervous agitation and anxiety. It has a calming effect on the entire body and can help soothe a nagging cough. Peppermint may help treat insomnia, and people with headache have found Peppermint effective when they accompany it with a short nap. Peppermint also promotes good digestion and improves the appetite.
