Traditional herbal formula lauded as effective treatment for COVID-19
A traditional herbal formula developed in Taiwan, known as Taiwan Chingguan Yihau (NRICM101), can be considered to be an effective treatment for COVID-19 patients, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctors said Friday.
Huang Yi-chia (黃怡嘉), a TCM doctor from Tri-Service General Hospital, said her hospital has prescribed NRICM101 to more than 200 COVID-19 patients since it obtained emergency use authorization in Taiwan in May 2020.
The study, which began last December at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH), involved 340 participants, average age 35, who had already received two doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, director Chiu Cheng-hsun (邱政洵) said at a press conference.
