Medicinal herbs are one of the imperative sources of drugs all over the world. Star anise (Illicium verum), an evergreen, medium-sized tree with star-shaped fruit, is an important herb with wide distribution throughout southwestern parts of the Asian continent. Besides its use as spice in culinary, star anise is one of the vital ingredients of the Chinese medicinal herbs and is widely known for its antiviral effects. It is also the source of the precursor molecule, shikimic acid, which is used in the manufacture of oseltamivir (Tamiflu®), an antiviral medication for influenza A and influenza B. Besides, several other molecules with numerous biological benefits including the antiviral effects have been reported from the same plant. Except the antiviral potential, star anise possesses a number of other potentials such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, anthelmintic, insecticidal, secretolytic, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective, sedative properties, expectorant and spasmolytic, and estrogenic effects. This review aimed to integrate the information on the customary attributes of the plant star anise with a specific prominence on its antiviral properties and the phytochemical constituents along with its clinical aptness.

I have been doing a combination tea using star anise, regular anise seed, cloves, and mint leaves!
Cloves are excellent for the circulation, aside from other host of beneficial, medicinal value.
Mint is another one of those herbs the aids in the digestive system, I can go on and on.
Please don’t take my word for it do your own research and remember just because it good for some doesn’t mean it’s good for you, it’s like taking about people with peanut allergies 🤧 although some say peanut is good not everyone can consume it, same applies with herbs! Again do your research, and if you decide to get something a try-start with small amounts
