| Abstract:
|
COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory SARS CoV-2. The common symptoms include cough usually dry in nature, fever, tiredness, shortness of breath and anosmia. World Health Organization has declared it ‘pandemic’ with a higher mortality rate especially among elderly having weaker immune system. There is no specific treatment for this dreadful infection until now and prevention is the only way to curb the disease. Antiviral drugs like remdesvir, oseltamivir, lopinavir and ritonavir along with antimalarial drugs like chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are found to be effective against the novel coronavirus but are still under trial. In any disease outbreak, those who are fit with strong immune system persist otherwise will face grave results. Nature has created a treasury of medicinal herbs which boost the immune system besides having other benefits. In this paper we have proposed a polyherbal formulation, along with a thorough review of its ingredients, with the aim to highlight its potential in prevention and cure of COVID-19.
