Herbs against COVID-19. Is it worth using traditional medicine for treatment?

The effectiveness of herbs for treating eyes and vision

Many herbs and flowers contain beneficial substances that are natural. This reduces the risk of developing adverse reactions that occur when taking medications.

The composition of herbal preparations includes the following beneficial substances:

• vitamins, microelements, minerals;
• enzymes;
• antibiotics of natural origin;
• alkaloids.

To achieve the correct effect, the herbal remedy must be prepared correctly:

• Infusions. Flowers or herbs are poured with boiling water and infused without boiling. During this time, all useful substances are released into the liquid. After infusion, it should be strained and used.
• Decoctions. They are cooked for no more than 10 minutes. This technique is used when the herbal remedy does not release its beneficial substances through infusion. After boiling, the liquid is cooled to room temperature, filtered and used.
• Tinctures. The herbs are poured with alcohol or vodka and infused for a long time. It usually takes about 1 month. There is no need to strain the liquid, as with further infusion it acquires beneficial qualities.

The beneficial properties of most plants have been proven through clinical trials. They have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, soothing and many other effects. Often used to reduce the progression of myopia and farsightedness.

All means are good

WHO 20 years ago declared natural medicine a health resource. The President of the National Association of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, Rector of the National Educational Center for Traditional and Complementary Medicine Maria Tomkevich reminds us of this : “We believe that when the world is faced with a previously unknown disease, when the doctor’s arsenal does not have sufficiently effective means of treating it, it’s time to remember herbal and homeopathic remedies that were used in epidemics long before the advent of modern pharmacology.”

Don't pour nettles on my wound. How weeds can be treated and fed “Of course, we cannot say that this is a panacea for all diseases. But such medicine, unlike most other treatment methods, almost always has a positive effect. Therefore, it is unreasonable to dismiss its capabilities,” says Dr. Luzina-Zhu Lili.

It’s hard to disagree with her on some things. Doctors have already tried a lot of remedies for COVID-19. The rich collection includes drugs that were previously used for rheumatoid arthritis and AIDS. Most of them, alas, did not give the effect that doctors expected. Or, for example, another drug was recently announced - the well-known dexamethasone. However, “dexamethasone is not an antiviral drug, it does not work against the causative agent of COVID-19,” says Associate Professor of the Department of Infectious Diseases in Children, Russian National Research Medical University. Pirogova Ivan Konovalov .

Plus, dexamethasone has a lot of serious side effects.

But since we still have nothing to really fight the current coronavirus, why not try alternative means? They are not as expensive as those offered by pharmaceutical giants, and not as rich in possible serious consequences of use. If we think logically, then everything that can help and certainly won’t harm is a reasonable path in our case.

In China, back in January, at the beginning of the epidemic, doctors began to use traditional medicine in addition to conventional medicines. Mostly herbs that helped stop SARS that rocked the country

in 2002–2003 The herbal mixture for patients with COVID-19 included sage, red peony and safflower flowers, which, by the way, also grow in Russia. They eliminated blood stagnation and improved blood circulation, which is important for infections. Plus, the Chinese used a plant-based drug in therapy that improved the general condition of the sick - mint, licorice and honeysuckle.

And in March, the State Administration for Traditional Medicine of the People's Republic of China made a statement that 90% of survivors of the coronavirus outbreak in the country used natural medicines. This helped in 90% of cases.
