To understand the difference between antiviral and antibacterial plant properties, it is necessary to understand the distinction between a bacterium and a virus. While bacteria have their own cell wall and can reproduce on their own, viruses need a host cell to replicate themselves. This means that when your body has a viral infection, a virus has invaded your cells. Instead of killing the pathogens as antibacterial herbs do, antiviral herbs can fight a virus by attaching to the affected cell walls and thereby prevent the virus from spreading. But this is just one of several ways to make use of antiviral or antibacterial herbs. One can also use herbs to prevent viral or bacterial infections by boosting your immune system, treating symptoms or shortening the recovery process.
