Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) broke out in 2019 and spread rapidly around the world. There is still no specific antiviral therapy to the current pandemic. In China, historical records show that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is effective in prevention and enhancing the resistance to pandemic with unique insights. To fight with COVID-19, National Health and Commission of PRC has recommended some TCM in the guideline, such as HuoxiangZhengqi, LianhuaQingwen ShufengJiedu and XueBijing, and actually displayed a remarkable effect in clinical treatment strategic for COVID-19. We review studies to provide an in-depth understanding into the effect of TCM, and also introduce the possible mechanism involved in COVID-19 treatment.
2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)于2019年爆发并在全球迅速传播。目前针对这一全球大流行仍没有特效抗病毒疗法。在中国,历史记录表明,传统中医(TCM)在预防和增强对大流行的抵抗力方面具有独特见解且行之有效。为抗击COVID-19,中华人民共和国国家卫生健康委员会在指南中推荐了一些中药,如藿香正气、连花清瘟、疏风解毒和血必净,并且这些中药在COVID-19临床治疗策略中实际显示出了显著效果。我们回顾相关研究以深入了解中药的疗效,并介绍COVID-19治疗中可能涉及的机制。
