Abstract

The covid-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the global healthcare system and the economy. At present, no specific antiviral vaccine is available to combat this contagious virus. Traditional medicine has a long history of playing a significant role in managing several infectious diseases. In this context, scientists around the globe are also exploring various traditional medical interventions to prevent the covid-19 pandemic. In the present work, we summarize available scientific data advocating the use of traditional medicine for preventing covid-19. A robust literature review was conducted using scientific platforms such as Science Direct, National Center for Biotechnology Information (ncbi), Pubmed, Google Scholar, and online database like The Plant List (The Plant List 2013) version 1.1. Special emphasis was given to potential natural antiviral, immuno-modulator plants, and traditional medicines to highlight their possible roles in reducing the disease burden. Immuno-modulator such as Withania somnifera and other natural compounds especially glycyrrhizin, kaempferol, ginsenoside, and lycorine can be leading candidates against sars-CoV-2. Besides the need for rigorous scientific validation of potential herbs and related formulations, their use can be beneficial for the preventive as well as symptomatic treatment of covid-19 infected patients. This work provides a run-through of the experimental therapeutics, preventive and treatment options for covid-19.

传统医学系统在管理covid-19中的可能作用:综述
新冠肺炎大流行给全球医疗体系和经济造成了严重破坏。目前,没有专门的抗病毒疫苗可用于对抗这种传染性病毒。传统医学在管理几种传染病方面发挥重要作用的历史悠久。在此背景下,全球科学家也在探索各种传统医学干预措施,以预防covid-19大流行。在本工作中,我们总结了现有的倡导使用传统医学预防covid-19的科学数据。利用科学平台,如Science Direct、国家生物技术信息中心(ncbi)、Pubmed、b谷歌Scholar和在线数据库,如The Plant List (The Plant List 2013) 1.1版,进行了强有力的文献综述。特别强调了潜在的天然抗病毒、免疫调节剂植物和传统药物,以强调它们在减轻疾病负担方面可能发挥的作用。免疫调节剂,如Withania somnifera和其他天然化合物,特别是甘草酸、山奈酚、人参皂苷和石蒜碱,可能是对抗sars-CoV-2的主要候选药物。除了需要对潜在草药和相关配方进行严格的科学验证外,它们的使用可能有利于covid-19感染患者的预防和对症治疗。这项工作概述了covid-19的实验性治疗方法、预防和治疗方案。
