The new corona-virus disease (COVID-19), transmitted from humans to humans, has dramatically become a pandemic responsible for the ongoing global health crisis. Presently, the corona-virus disease pandemic of 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a worldwide outbreak of respiratory disease [1]. The COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is said to have a zoonotic basis. Between 31 December 2019 and 1, December 2020, 63 245 164 cases of COVID-19 (under the case description and testing strategies implemented in the affected countries) have been registered, including 1 469 469 deaths [2]. No effective vaccine or treatment recommends nutritional therapy and herbal medicine as alternatives to COVID-19 immune booster prevention therapies.
