Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a surge in the use of traditional herbal medicine as an adjunctive treatment. Despite historical use and anecdotal success, the integration of herbal remedies into modern therapeutic strategies for COVID-19 management presents complex challenges, including potential safety risks, efficacy concerns, and quality control issues. This paper provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the current literature on the use of traditional herbal medicine in treating COVID-19, focusing on potential dangers, toxicological considerations, and the need for rigorous clinical evaluation.
