ABSTRACT

Up today, there is no cure for COVID-19. Nevertheless, several treatments are reported with regard of preventing contagion and treating its symptoms and complications. Natural and traditional medicine has been used against various illnesses, but the information on its application in patients with SARS-CoV-2 is scarce. The aim of this work was to describe the use of Natural and Traditional Medicine in the prevention and treatments of COVID-19. For that, a search of information was conducted using resources available through Infomed (PubMed, PubMed Central, SciELO, EBSCO, ClinicalKey) and Google Academic, what allowed to carry out a bibliographic review on the use of Natural and Traditional Medicine in the infection caused by COVID-19. Despite of the known benefits of the Natural and Traditional Medicine, it has been undervalued as a treatment against COVID-19. Numerous clinical trials have treated the use of the different therapies of Natural and Traditional Medicine. It is reported that in patients undergoing these therapies the cure rate increased, the number of severe cases decreased and the hospital discharge rate improved outstandingly. Natural and traditional medicine does not directly protect against disease, or causes its healing, but it does contribute to the body being strengthened at the time of facing the infection, and its use is efficacious in reducing and alleviating the symptoms.
