What some Chinese consider to be a contributing factor to

Preventing infection, protecting people's health and preventing dangerous infections, the Chinese adopt herbal treatment to fight the new wave of the corona epidemic, and the majority are forced to take traditional medicines to fight the aches and pains of the virus.

Traditional medicines are the only way, especially with the huge shortage of painkillers and antibiotics in the majority of pharmacies in the country.

Yu Li, a traditional Chinese medicine specialist, said:"I had symptoms of fever, I brewed a dose of herbal tea for myself, I had a high fever that reached forty degrees Celsius, I sweated heavily and after taking natural tea I haven't had a fever since.

According to herbal experts, traditional Chinese medicine has been used for thousands of years to treat all kinds of diseases, but it is ineffective in treating the actual disease, and there is little data reviewed by scientists, to support the claims of the effectiveness of this medicine.

"When I was thirty years old, I met a friend who is an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, and he has been teaching me the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine since then, I found the medicine very effective after trying several times, so I began to recognize it and studied it myself,"Li added.

"Covid-19 is no exception, I have always used herbal teas to treat colds, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, covid symptoms are caused by cold factors and my body showed it too, so I used warm medicines to treat it,"he continued.

In turn, the spokesman for the National Health Commission, Mei Feng, said: "since the Coronavirus outbreak, China has always adhered to a combination of traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine in treatment at all levels, we have fully benefited from the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, which has played an important role in improving the cure rate, reducing the rate of severe illness and death, and promoting early recovery of patients.

According to experts, the Chinese are very keen to take advantage of the effectiveness of herbs to treat covid nineteen, they believe.
