Potential Role of Gut Microbiota in Traditional Chinese Medicine against COVID-19.

The combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medication appears to be an effective treatment strategy for COVID-19 patients in China. This review focuses on the relationship between COVID-19 and gut microbiota and the potential impact of traditional Chinese medicine on gut microbiota in treating COVID-19 patients. Available data suggests that gut microbiota dysbiosis occurs in COVID-19 patients, and intervention can improve patient's clinical condition. Certain traditional Chinese medicines have been proven to be safe and effective for treating COVID-19, and they have a positive impact on gut microbiota, immunity, and angiotensin converting enzyme 2. The hypothesis of gut microbiota-mediated traditional Chinese medicine treatment of COVID-19 is proposed, but more clinical trials and basic experiments are needed to confirm this hypothesis.
