Abstract
COVID-19 also named as extreme coronavirus acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a new strain of coronavirus that affects humans and was formally identified in 2019, after its recent discovery in Severe pneumonia patients in Wuhan (China). Globally, there is an unprecedented rise in COVID-19 positive cases. India has long surpassed many countries and is now the worst-affected country. Despite the best efforts of scientists around the world, no cure or vaccine has yet been developed. With this in mind, the government is trying to come up with a solution to treat patients affected by this deadly pandemic. It is possible to foresee various options to monitor or avoid emerging 2019-nCoV infections, including vaccines, interferon therapies, and small-molecule drugs. New interventions, however, are likely to take months to years to grow. Furthermore, the majority of current antiviral therapies also contribute to the production of viral resistance. To classify lead, the pharmaceutical industry is increasingly targeting phytochemical extracts, medicinal plants, and aromatic herbs. Here, we take a look at what is known about the use of herbal ingredients in the treatment of COVID-19 disease.
