Outbreaks of respiratory viruses like SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 have been frequent over the last century, causing many deaths due to complications. Traditional medicines have been observed to offer palliative and therapeutic benefits, including for COVID-19. The Unani herbal decoction, comprising of three fruits/seeds, was originally prescribed for respiratory ailments in the early 1900s and was recently prescribed by the Indian government for mild COVID-19 patients in home isolation. Preliminary studies suggest that the decoction could reduce COVID-19 incidence and severity.
