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.
Rosemary is an evergreen shrub used in folk medicine to treat various conditions. Studies highlight that it has significant neuropharmacological properties, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and neuroprotective effects. It also shows clinical benefits for mood, memory, pain, anxiety, and sleep. The aim of this review is to evaluate the preclinical potential of rosemary extracts and its active constituents on nervous system disorders. The study includes various sources from PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science without any time limitation. The review finds rosemary as a potential source for inflammation, analgesic, anti-anxiety, and memory-boosting therapeutics. The study recommends further research on isolated constituents such as carnosic acid, rosmarinic acid, and essential oil to help people with nervous system disorders.
