According to a joint research study by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, and DAILAB at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan, the ayurvedic herb ‘Ashwagandha’ can be an effective therapeutic and preventive drug against the COVID-19 infection.
The natural compounds from Ashwagandha and Propolis have the potential to be an effective novel coronavirus preventive drug.
The findings may not only help save time and cost required for screening for anti-COVID-19 drugs, but may also offer some preventive and therapeutic value for the management of fatal COVID-19 pandemic.
