Abstract

Because the entire globe is suffering from the COVID-19 epidemic, there has been a surge of attention in techniques to increase our immune power and therefore establish the first line of defense against the terrible virus. Therapeutic plants, shrubs, and medicines have been recognized for their therapeutic benefits from the classical era. As a result, therapeutic plants and herbs are playing an important role in decreasing the COVID-19 epidemic. It is also essential to eat nutrients in the form of formulations such as Tulsi, Amla, and Cumin, which will help your body fight infections. This study describes how common medicinal plants and herbs interact with COVID-19.
