COVID-19 Update On Cytokine Storm: Identification and Treatment ||
Many doctors are focused on treating the inflammatory reactions it triggers ||
[US National Library of Medicine] Currently, the synthetic antiviral drugs or vaccines have limited use in developing countries due to the emergence of resistant strains, the high cost, and the harmful side effects. However, Anti-Inflammatory agents derived from herbs (medicinal plants) have many advantages such as low cost and toxicity, extensive source, and ease of access. Moreover, medicinal plants usually have multitarget effects, which not only act as antiviral agents (with fewer or no side effects) but also stimulate immunity. Therefore, medicinal plant extracts and phytochemicals are attracting more and more attention as the potential sources for the development of new antiviral drugs during the recent decade.
