There are plants out there, all over the world, that have
antiviral properties.

For exemple, there is a predilection for a particular type of herb
that seems to
be having antiherpes properties; the ones in the Labiate order,
together
with Peppermint, Mint, etc.

The idea here in this topic, is that herbs have develop the antiviral
properties
because they have their roots in the soil, and thus exposed to various
viruses and bacterias.

When humans were eating some plants that did not have antiviral
properties, they have gotten the viruses.
In the areas of the globe where the plants such as the ones in the
Labiate order
have had being eaten by farm animals(and wild animals) during
millenias or used by humans as food directly, the viruses had entered
the human bodies and evolved
to today's viruses that we know them.

One important point would be, if we can locate those areas (I suspect
China)
we should focus more upon the variety of antiviral coontaining plants
that
exist there.
