The usage of Chinese herbs in Covid-19 treatment , what is the science behind it?



Traditional Chinese medicine is an important part of China's medical system, and Chinese medicine plays an important role in exogenous disease control.



In previous SARS and H7N9 avian influenza epidemics, when the pathogen was unknown and the vaccine hadn't developed, Chinese medicine provided a feasible treatment for the epidemic.




At present, Chinese medicine treatment for Covid-19 mainly includes three aspects: single Chinese medicine, Chinese patent medicine, and Compound Chinese herbal medicines.



For single Chinese medicine, at present, the research on anti-virus of traditional Chinese medicine mainly involves respiratory virus, hepatitis virus, HIV, herpes virus, etc.




The antiviral pathways of traditional Chinese medicine are mainly divided into two aspects: direct antiviral (eliminating evil) and indirect antiviral (strengthening the healthy energy). The antiviral active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine include phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, polysaccharides, glycosides, etc., covering almost all chemical components related to antiviral.




Among the Chinese medicines for the treatment of respiratory diseases, IsatisindigoticaFort., Lonicera japonica, Forsythia suspensa, Artemisia argyi etc. are the most commonly used.




Traditional Chinese medicine has a definite therapeutic effect on viral and bacterial respiratory diseases. Its mechanism of action includes inhibiting the growth of bacteria and viruses, inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors, and regulating immunity. However, for Covid-19, the therapeutic effect of a single Chinese medicine is limited, and a compound prescription should be formed through compatibility to improve the therapeutic effect.
