webfact Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Traditional cold medicine, Fah Talai Jone, to be used on Covid patients in five hospitals By The Nation The Department of Thai Traditional Medicine is joining up with five state hospitals to start using Fah Talai Jone (Andrographis Paniculata) as a treatment option for early stage Covid-19 patients. Dr Amporn Benjaponpitak, director-general of the department, said on Wednesday that finding an alternative was necessary now that there are so many new Covid-19 infections. Tests on animals show that the herb contains substances that can reduce inflammation and may inhibit the replication of the virus. Tests on Covid-19 patients whose symptoms were not very severe showed them improving in three days without any side-effects. The five state hospitals the department is cooperating with are Nakhon Pathom Hospital, Samut Sakhon Hospital, Ratchaburi Hospital, Ban Pong Hospital in Ratchaburi and Somdej Phra Phutthlertla Hospital in Samut Songkhram. The herb can be used for patients aged between 18 and 60, who have mild respiratory symptoms such as cough, runny nose, sore throat. Patients can consume 180mg of Fah Talai Jone for five days in combination with modern drugs.

All those bagging herbal treatments seem to overlook that a vast majority of "modern" magic drugs started life as herbal treatments.

Popular Post Fex Bluse Posted December 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) @Natai Beach maybe you can try this Thai wonder drug since you dislike western things so much. If this doesn't work, I can recommend a strong bowl of Somtam soup. Or a hearty bowl of Chinese bat soup. 555 ????

Emdog Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 "...finding an alternative was necessary now that there are so many new Covid-19 infections." Thais generally expect a bag of pills when they visit the doctor. I imagine this alternative was pressed into action to appease that desire for doctors to do something/anything. Placebos often do aid in recovery... mind over matter... oh wait... At least not so insane as to go the homeopathic route 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been used for hundreds of years to treat those symptoms. Since these symptoms themselves can be for some life threatening, why not use it? I don't think anyone is claiming it is a cure, just another weapon in the armoury. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's already functioning normally then strengthening it would mean that it starts attacking things it shouldn't be attacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 [quote] ...and may inhibit the replication of the virus. [/quote] In other words, they have no idea if it can inhibit the replication of the virus. "...and may enhance the replication of the virus" could be just as true! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbastheycome Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 So easy for some to laugh when forgetting to consider how and why so many "herbal" remedies came to achieve a reputation for effectiveness. Is there a singular claim for a specific plant , seed , or extract? No! No denying that in modern medical terms the identification, concentration, or synthetic formulation of many natural ingredients has been common practice but that has now been advanced to major attempts to control, deny, or ultimately possess commercial rights to highly effective natural products.

tracker Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 maybe this helps some: I use this herb for over 15 years. When I feel flu symptoms coming up, I take 4 to 5 pills (in serious attack every 3 hours 4 pills) in the morning and the same for the evening. that goes on for 2 days. Then all symptoms have disappeared (every time!). Also I use it for any internal inflamation (e.g. tooth-ache) It does not work so fast as a paracetamol, but it does work. I used to take the tea of the leaves, but switched to pills as the nickname "king of bitter" sure deserves every letter of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
