Hendravirus, Lyssavirus and Hantavirus samples were stolen in a lab in Australia a few years ago and this has just been reported in the news. The Hendravirus is a virus of the family of the Henipaviruses. The health issues associated are pulmonary oedem, bleeding and in some cases viral meningitis. It’s a very lethal virus, 57% lethality, fortunately it’s a contact-only transmission (there is balance in nature, such a deadly virus cannot be aerosolized).

The cleareast phyto answer : for oedema, I use Centella asiatica, and I checked and found actually a study for another Henipavirus, the Nipah virus, which recommends Centella asiatica. (Link)

So, there would be also Salvia rosmarinus in my opinion which has antiviral properties, and Thymus. I would recommend experimenting with them but I think Centella asiatica is very reliable for Hendraviruses.

For the Lyssavirus, which is of the family of rabies, I think that Centella asiatica, with its support to the neurological system, is excellent. I do not have any study to support my claim nevertheless. A study lists several plants used traditionally for the Lyssavirus and based on it and on my own experience of that product I can recommend Boswellia carterii which is available in the West.

For Hantavirus, I suggest Shiitake or Polyporus umbellatus for their nephroprotective properties (Polyporus has some antiviral properties as well), as well as Eleutherococcus senticosus for its nephroprotective and immunostimulatory properties. Coriolus could be also good because it supports the kidney.
