Fah Talai Jone is a well-known medicinal plant in Thailand. The leaves are traditionally used to make an exceedingly bitter tea, to treat a number of illnesses, including fevers and infections.

 

Now, the popular Thai herb is also being used in the treatment of mild COVID-19 symptoms in “green level” patients who are not pregnant or breastfeeding and have no underlying diseases.

 

The patient will receive a pack of 45 capsules of Fah Talai Jone. 3 capsules are to be taken after breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each dose contains 60 milligrams of Andrographolide, to help them fight the disease.

Yeah, yeah, so does a Tylenol / paracetamol  or just waiting a few days.

It certainly helps with the fever, so you do feel a little better

It doesn't fight the virus, but it does help with some symptoms.

 

I've taken it for colds/flue several times now.

 

Fair enough. Just don't claim it is a cure for Covid 19.

Reads like an infomercial. 

 

No "expert" quotes?

 

This stuff is flying off the shelves, and people are over-self-medicating, mostly as a prophylaxis. 

 

Thai experts say the Andrographolide in Fah Talai Jone is effective in stopping the spread of the COVID-19 if given in large enough quantities and administered quickly after getting infected, to prevent the virus from entering the lungs and causing pneumonia.

 

 

Is it a treatment? A prophylaxis? A breath-mint? 

Many Thais believe it's a cure for Covid not just a relief it's selling like hot cakes

prices have tripled people are relying on it rather than vaccines.

Apparently after they gave it to inmates in prisons which they claim proved it cures COVID?
Do they try to reverse that now?

Nice bit of marketing....

A paracetamol and a drop of whisky, along with a few days in bed will do the same!
