Thailand Clears Use of Herbal Medicine for Covid-19 Treatment

By
December 30, 2020, 1:02 AM EST

Thailand’s health ministry approved the use of a herbal plant extract to treat early stages of Covid-19 as a pilot program amid a flareup in the coronavirus outbreak in the Southeast Asian nation.

 
 

Andrographis Paniculata, commonly known as green chiretta, will serve as an alternative treatment to reduce the severity of the outbreak and cut treatment costs, the ministry said in a statement Wednesday. The treatment will be available in five state-owned hospital initially, it said.

 
 

Thailand reported 250 new cases on Wednesday, taking the nation’s total to almost 7,000, and a government official said the rate of increase in local transmissions was alarming and urged people to stay at home to prevent the virus from spreading further. The government has also banned large gatherings in high-risk areas, said Taweesilp Witsanuyotin, a spokesperson for the national Covid-19 response center.

 
 
  • The herbal treatment will be on a voluntary basis for those in the 18-60 age group with minor symptoms and should be within 72 hours of confirming infections
  • The extract from the plant, known as Fah Talai Jone in Thai, can curb virus and reduce severity of inflammation, ministry says citing studies
  • Human trials showed patient conditions improved within three days of the treatment without side effects if the medicine is administered within 72 hours of testing positive
  • Separately, Thai Food and Drug Administration said it’s ready to register Covid-19 vaccines
  • FDA has opened special channel for the registration to ensure speedy process

i have know this for months. fairly certain i got covid in thailand soon after it was announced globally.

took fa-talejor and a couple of other thai herbs within a day of the sore throat and other malaise symptoms onset. next morning it was gone just took a while longer to clear the lungs.

have been wondering why they have been keeping it a secret, i figure it was all about the massive money they are trying to extort for vaccines, quarantine etc

no. at that time testing wasnt around and especially not where i was. have read of other people trying to get tested at the time and place who were denied and told to go elsewhere. plus i was  then, after taking the herbs, not feeling unwell so didnt feel a need to go near "health care"

What a load of old bull. Do you not know that someone can be ASYMPTOMATIC, ie they do not feel bad, show no symptoms and yet are still contageous spreaders. 

Just because you do not get tested, as here in Thailand, doesn't mean Covid does not exist, as they are now finding out.

I used to take some herbal pills in China that had similar effect on influenza. 1-2 days and it was gone. I have no idea what it is, but I took photos of the pills... Maybe someone recognises them...

Where were you living at the time you had these symptoms @urallfullof it?

 

add fresh garlic, ginger, turmeric, thyme, rosemary, ...

 

all are anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory
