In China they use traditional medicine to fight Covid19

Chinese health authorities recommend that hospitals administer a traditional Chinese herbal medicine formula along with pharmacological treatments.

In China, at the center of the pandemic caused by the Covid coronavirus19, health authorities have not hesitated to complement traditional and modern medicine treatments at all stages of the disease. In fact, on February 6, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention included a formula of traditional Chinese medicine in protocol treatment due to observations of its effectiveness in clinical practice.

The General Office of the National Health Committee and the Office of the State Administration for Traditional Chinese Medicine recommend that hospitals administer a decoction called "Qing Fei Jie Du Tang" (lung cleansing and detoxifying decoction) to all patients.

This preparation consists of a mixture of 20 plants among which are some known in Europe, such as ephedra, almond, tangerine peel, ginger and coriander fruit. Others belong to the Chinese and oriental flora.

Vitamin C Coronavirus Could Vitamin C Reduce Deaths From Coronavirus?
Patients take one dose of the decoction with warm water, three times a day, 40 minutes after meals. After taking the natural medicine they drink half a bowl of rice soup. In addition to traditional medicine, patients receive antiviral drugs and chloroquine.

The Chinese protocol is, therefore, an example of the so-called "integrative medicine" that seeks to achieve the greatest benefit for the patient with all available therapies, both pharmacological and natural or complementary.

CHINESE TRADITIONAL MEDICINE HAS PROVEN ITS EFFECTIVENESS WITH SARS AND COVID19
According to studies taken into account by health authorities, in 2003 traditional Chinese medicine treatment was helpful in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The patients improved their symptoms and prognosis, benefited from a shorter hospital stay, and suffered fewer side effects related to the steroids administered.

Traditional medicine formulas have been used for more than 2,000 years in China. According to an article by Dr. Chang-quan Ling, a researcher at the Naval Medical University Cina School of Traditional Medicine in Shanghai, many traditional remedies have antiviral ingredients and can directly inhibit the reproduction of the Covid19 coronavirus (also called SARS-CoV-2) .

Prevent Flu Are there natural ways to prevent Wuhan coronavirus?
The use of these preparations is not only based on experience, but they are studied to discover, using computer models, how the molecular structure of the compounds can interact or couple with the main proteins of the new coronavirus. A positive coupling suggests ability to inhibit virus multiplication, according to the article published in the Journal of Integrative Medicine.

In addition to the herbal formula "Qing Fei Jie Du Tang", included in the official treatment protocol, other therapies, such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and diet therapy, may apply in traditional medicine hospitals.
