Description 201-223
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) posed a serious threat to human health
worldwide. The death toll was immense in many countries, irrespective of their advanced healthcare system. Post-COVID
complications are equally challenging. It was realized that a single method to manage the COVID-19 pandemic and related
outbreaks is not adequate; rather, an integrated approach which includes spreading awareness and educating masses about
the disease, development of antiviral drugs and other safer drugs for symptomatic treatment of the disease, and mass
vaccination is needed to manage such pandemic. Plants used in traditional medicine systems contain diverse secondary
metabolites. These have been screened against SARS-CoV-2 and have shown effective antiviral activities. Many of the plant
products are also useful for symptomatic treatment. The immune-boosting properties of many phytochemicals have been
well documented. In this review, the potential of traditional medicinal plants for effective management of the COVID-19
pandemic is presented.
