Natural products for COVID-19 prevention and treatment regarding to previous coronavirus infections and novel studies.

A review article suggests that natural products like plants and herbs could be used as potential treatments for COVID-19 based on their antiviral activities against other coronaviruses. The authors searched through multiple scientific databases and found that certain plants and herbs, such as Allium sativum, Zingiber officinale, and Glycyrrhiza glabra, have been shown to improve immune response and inhibit viral replication. The study also identified specific compounds, such as terpenoids and alkaloids, with promising effects against coronavirus targets like the S protein and viral enzymes. Overall, the article suggests that natural products could be used as preventive and therapeutic agents in the fight against COVID-19.
