Traditional medicine to fight COVID-19

-

 


A contagious illness called coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

The majority of virus-infected individuals will experience a mild to severe respiratory disease and will recover without the need for special care. However, some people will get serious illnesses and need to see a doctor. Serious sickness is more likely to strike older persons and those with underlying medical illnesses including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or chronic respiratory diseases. COVID-19 can cause anyone to become very ill or pass away at any age.

There isn't a specific treatment for COVID-19 at the moment. Additionally, community members and experts are looking for the best way to treat or prevent the illness, including employing herbal remedies. An herbal remedy with an immunomodulatory impact may have potential as a preventive strategy or possibly a therapeutic agent for patients with COVID-19 infection because the immunological status of patients plays a crucial part in this illness. The use of herbal remedies with specific active ingredients that have antibacterial or antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and immunostimulatory properties, like echinacea, quinine, and curcumin, is a recent trend in the community. These herbal ingredients are thought to have the ability to modify the immune response, which makes them effective for avoiding

Infectious diseases like SARS-CoV-2 have been made to have lessened effects thanks in part to herbal medications. There is evidence that suggests herbal remedies may be useful in lowering and managing the risk of COVID-19. Several recommendations on herbal therapy have been made regarding the use of herbal medicine as a complementary treatment for COVID-19 in addition to conventional medical care. It is important to not undervalue the use of herbal medicine for therapeutic purposes because numerous botanical medications have antiviral effectiveness. Since conventional treatments are still not fully effective, well-known herbal medications with antiviral properties are currently employed as an extra form of treatment to inhibit SARS-CoV-2.

Single plant species have a great deal of medicinal potential in herbal medicine research. The fact that a single plant may contain a large variety of biochemicals is now widely recognised, raising doubts about the therapeutic utility of plants. based on strong evidence for effectiveness, are typically categorised as antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and mixed-effects having many purposes. Herbal medicines that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties may play important roles in the treatment of COVID-19 in addition to having direct antiviral effects. This is because increased levels of inflammatory markers like interleukin (IL)-6, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) have been linked to severe disease and worse outcomes, which is most likely caused by cytokine storm.

Asian Scientist Magazine (Jun. 29, 2022) —  Imagine a dull joint soreness when you wake up in the morning or a feeling that your knees ache right before it rains. For many, this is what  arthralgia  (joint pain) feels like. Globally, more than 6 billion people turn to traditional medicine for common ailments like arthralgia. Recognizing the importance of traditional medicine, the World Health Organization (WHO) established a  global center for traditional medicine  this year in India. Taking the traditional medicine research forward in Asia, a team of scientists studied a plant  Viscum coloratum  or mistletoe, which is popular in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Among patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), acupuncture enhanced structural regeneration of the sural nerve, according to study findings published in the journal  Phytomedicine . Chemotherapeutic agents cause cellular and DNA damage and inflammation which evoke peripheral nerve degeneration and small fiber neuropathy. Previous research has indicated that acupuncture may be beneficial among patients with neuropathy. To evaluate whether acupuncture may improve symptoms of CIPN, the Acupuncture for Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy (ACICIN) study was conducted between 2012 and 2015 at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in Germany. This prospective, controlled, randomized, 2-armed, cross-over study recruited 60 patients with CIPN. Patients received weekly acupuncture for 10 weeks before or after a 10-week waiting period. Patients were evaluated for change in sural sensory nerve action potential (SNAP), sural sensory nerve conduction velocity (...

Acupuncture was first introduced to America in 1971 after President Richard Nixon visited China. James Reston was a New York Times journalist who suffered appendicitis during his trip with Nixon to China. Reston had a typical appendectomy, but the only difference was he did not receive anesthesia. Instead, Reston received a few acupuncture needles which kept him painless during the surgery. After he returned to the U.S., Reston wrote an article in  The New York Times  about his experience with acupuncture, which triggered a broad interest in acupuncture in the U.S. since. Over the past 50 years, we have learned much more about acupuncture. Acupuncture is a medical approach that treats disease at the energy level. Currently, modern medical technology does not have a reliable treatment protocol to treat energy, which has increased interest in acupuncture in recent years. The energy of our body is invisible and hard to quantify, but we can feel its existence. Like our physical an...
