Abstract
COVID-19 has taken the global population by surprise. All around the
globe, there have been combined efforts from scientists to find a cure for this disease.
Numerous alternative modes of medicine have also been explored for the same. In this
chapter, the authors have reviewed the role of medicinal plants and phytomedicine in
combating this disease. There is an urgent need to standardise the protocols for
conducting clinical experiments on herbal medication for COVID-19 to ensure
consistency and batch-to-batch efficacy. Also, literature regarding these studies needs
to be categorised and catalogued properly. The scientific community needs to draw
from the rich diversity of herbal and medicinal plants to meet this extraordinary
challenge.
Keywords: Coronavirus, COVID-19. Phytomedicine, Herbal plants, Medicinal plants, SARS-CoV-2.
