Virus

Blender’s Notes Virus:

Steep Me Self Help combinations are a wonderful way to get health benefits outside of the standard tea leaf. This combination of herbs helps the body with any type of viral infection. What is a virus? Viruses are small germs (pathogens) that can infect you and make you sick. They can infect humans, plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi. Each one infects only specific types of hosts. Viral infections in humans can cause no symptoms or make you extremely ill. Types of diseases they can cause include Respiratory illnesses. Diarrhea and vomiting. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Skin conditions. A virus is a small piece of genetic information in a “carrying case” — a protective coating called a capsid. Viruses are not made up of cells, so they do not have all the equipment that cells need to make more copies of themselves. Instead, they carry instructions with them and use a host cell’s equipment to make more copies of the virus. Viruses share some common features. Viruses: Are made up of genetic material (RNA or DNA) and a protective protein coating (capsid). Sometimes have another layer called an envelope around the capsid. Viruses without an envelope are called “naked viruses.” Are like parasites — they need a host to reproduce. They will survive outside of a host until their capsid breaks down over time. Are 100 to 1,000 times smaller than the cells in your body. Some common types of viruses that you might hear about include Influenza viruses. Human herpesviruses. Coronavirus. Human papillomaviruses. Enteroviruses. Flaviviruses. Ortho poxviruses. Hepatitis viruses. There are also some viruses that have unique qualities, like retroviruses and oncoviruses. Viruses usually enter your body through your mucous membranes. These include your eyes, nose, mouth, penis, vagina, and anus. Some viruses get in through a break in your skin or from a bite from a mosquito or tick. How do viruses work? Viruses have several steps to infecting cells and reproducing. They include Attachment, Entry, Replication, Assembly, and Release.

Viruses can get inside of cells in three ways: Receptor binding. Cells have receptors on the outside that can receive signals from proteins in your body. Think of them like doors. Some viruses trick cells into thinking they should be allowed inside, so the cells let them in the door. Direct fusion. Some viruses attach directly to host cells to get inside. Bacteriophages inject their genetic material into bacterial cells. The entire virus does not need to get inside. Once the virus or its genetic material is inside of a cell, it uses either a lytic cycle or lysogenic cycle to reproduce (some use both): Lytic cycle. The virus uses the host cell’s machinery to make more copies of itself. Pieces of the virus assemble, wrapping up the genetic material in the capsid. Viruses make many copies of themselves this way. Eventually, there are so many copies of the virus inside the cell that it bursts. Those virions can now go and infect more cells. Lysogenic cycle. Some viruses have a dormant, or silent phase. They get inside cells and then wait. Instead of setting up shop to cook in your kitchen right away, it is as if they put their recipe into your body’s recipe book without you knowing it. The cells do not realize the virus is there and continue to reproduce as they normally would. Each new copy of the cell also has a copy of the virus in it. Certain triggers can cause those cells to burst, spreading viral particles into your body that can infect other cells. Triggers could include stress, chemical signals, or temperature changes. Viruses: Definition, Types, Characteristics & Facts

In this blend we include herbs to help kick the virus out of the body and help with the symptoms. The blend will have a slightly garlicy taste with a hint of earthiness from our proprietary mushroom blend we included to help keep your antioxidants high while detoxing the body. We added Elderberry to help boost your immune system while eradicating the virus, the garlicy taste from garlic because it is as a potent antimicrobial and has antiviral activity against many viruses which causes the common cold and may have antiviral activity. Calendula, Peppermint, Rosemary, Fennel, Oregano, Lemon Balm were added to inhibit viruses. We also added Licorice Root because it has active substances of Glycyrrhizin, liquiritigenin, and glabridin which are antiviral properties. Echinacea is one of the most popular antiviral herbs on the market when it comes to fighting viruses and bacteria, and for good reason. Not only does it could boost your immune system by stimulating the production of cells to help fight infections, but it also contains phytochemicals that fight and help reduce infections once they occur. Holy Basil has been shown to increase immunity, which may help fight viral infections. Astralagus is well-known as an adaptogen herb whose role is to help improve your body’s reaction to stress. However, research has shown this root also contains powerful antiviral properties.

Olive Leaf has an active ingredient oleuropein, has been shown to inhibit the spreading of viruses by not allowing them to attach to healthy cells. In addition, studies have shown that exposing certain viruses to oleuropein in their preliminary stages reduced their infection potential. Cat’s Claw works to supercharge your immune system, while simultaneously repairing damaged DNA and boosting your virus-fighting white blood cells. Steep Me Seaweed Blend was included because of its consumption is linked with longevity and health and rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats and finally we added our Steep Me Mushroom Blend that will enhance your energy and help your body utilize oxygen and stimulate blood flow. These benefits will help boost the immune system and fight cancerous cells. This blend is a great option to drink as a preventative. We have been making this tea as a part of our daily regimen for the last year and really has made a difference for us to be at work every day.
