Tamiflu is made directly from the spice STAR ANISE. This spice is an anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and fights cancer.

I told a few friends about Star Anise and they were surprised to find that Tamiflu is basically made from a spice from southern China.

Star anise comes by its name honestly, with its star shape and a licorice taste similar to regular anise, only stronger. Star anise is the seed pod of an evergreen tree (Illicium Verum) grown in southwestern China and Japan. It is about one inch high with eight segments and a dark brown rust color.

Medical Uses of Star Anise In traditional Chinese medicine, star anise is prescribed as a digestive aid and to help cure colic in babies. More recently, Shikimic Acid, extracted from star anise, is one of the chief ingredients in the antiviral Tamiflu drug used to fight avian influenza.

Will you tell a little bit more about this ? I have reactive arthritis and was looking for natural ways to boost my immunity to stave off what triggers my flare ups (that last 3+ months)

Thanks- will be looking for these ingredients today.
