COVID-19 Plant Medicine Research Flourishes

Over the past two years numerous peer-reviewed studies have tested the ability of plant-based medicines for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19. How have they performed?

Studies have tested plant medicines against the coronavirus.

As you will see from the studies linked in the below table, quite well.

The table below currently has 114 studies. They are alphabetical to author name and the paper or its abstract can be directly accessed simply by clicking the link on the title.

Lectins and COVID-19

There are some exciting studies included in this list. One topic has been covered previously in the Journal of Plant Medicines: Lectins and COVID. That paper discussed the connections between lectins’ ability to combat the first SARS virus and how they are being tested on COVID-19.

Two more recent studies on lectins (Abbas et al. and Ahmed et al. below) takes the research further into studying lectins such as red algae and banana peel against COVID-19.

Artemisia and COVID-19

Another exciting study covers the use of Artemisia plant species, such as Artemisia annua and A. afra.

These plants contain a compound called Artemisinin that has been shown to halt replication of the COVID-19 virus in the body. Artemisia extracts have been shown to also help prevent contraction of the virus.

Artemisinin is the same compound found to inhibit malaria and dengue fever in other research, as we’ve reported.

Ayurveda and the Coronavirus

Yet another intriguing area of study has been the use of Ayurvedic herbal medicines to combat COVID-19. A study we are listing below reviews 51 clinical trials, of which 17 resulted in strong clinical data showing efficacy for different Ayurvedic herbs when applied as co-treatments with COVID-19 patients.

We have also listed some of these clinical trials as well. Herbal compounds such as Ginger, Black pepper, Piper longum, Terminalia cordifolia and others were found within formulations shown to have some success in these studies.

Antiviral Cordyceps

Another interesting compound being investigated is a constituent from the Cordyceps mushroom. This mushroom has long proven to be significantly antiviral. Now scientists have isolated a particular compound from this mushroom, called Cordyceptin. The compound has shown to be antiviral against a number of viruses, now including the coronavirus. Some labs have created an analogue to the natural compound, eyeing the opportunity to patent a drug with this analogue.

Fortunately, nature has already provided the natural medicine with the compound, together with nature’s array of buffers to balance any potential side effects. That’s because nature is smarter than our laboratory techs.

Treatment by African traditional medicine

A 2022 study from Lagos State University (Olubunmi et al. 2022) listed below investigated COVID-19 treatments that were being given by traditional tribal healers among the Awori people in Ojo, Lagos.

The researchers found that the healers used 50 different medicinal plant compounds in their treatments. They found that 18 species were from trees, 15 from herbs, 10 from shrubs and 7 from climbers.

The most used species, with the highest benefits resulted from:

  • Azadirachta indica (Neem)
  • Allium sativum (Garlic)
  • Zingiber officinale (Ginger)
  • Citrus limon (Lemon)
  • Garcina cola (Bitter cola).

These plants were found by the researchers, “were reported to treat fever, sore throat, dry cough and boost immune system respectively.”

Additional follow up

In the coming days we continue to update the table. We may also expand some of our summary information for some of the more important studies listed below. So please favorite this page and check back for updates!
