Traditional Medicines and Natural Products as Preventive and Therapeutic Agents Against COVID-19: A Promising Response to the Global Unprecedented Pandemic presents comprehensive coverage of the pharmacological effects of natural products on the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Sections provide traditional medicine approaches and their potential to prevent and treat COVID-19 infection, including traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, Persian, and Kampo medicine, alongside an overview of nutritional regimens and their therapeutic potential. Other sections cover natural molecules such as flavonoids, saponins, coumarins, alkaloids, terpenes, polysaccharides, and several microbial natural products of relevant action against viruses. Final chapters cover nanotherapeutic approaches. This is a valuable resource for researchers and academics in the fields of herbal medicine, pharmacology, pharmacognosy and for professionals in the pharmaceutical industries and anyone interested in natural products and their application for therapeutic purposes.
