Abstract

he global threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the search for innovative treatments, sparking interest in the potential of natural materials as sources for antiviral medications. This paper delves into the realm of natural medicine, examining the utilization of plant extracts and microbial compounds to combat viral diseases like COVID-19. While these sources hold promise, safety remains paramount. Just as with conventional drugs, natural medications can yield adverse effects and interactions, necessitating rigorous evaluation. To mitigate potential risks, techniques to reduce after-effects are explored, emphasizing the importance of standardization and quality control. Integrating traditional knowledge with modern scientific methods presents an opportunity to discover novel therapies. The development of potent and effective natural antiviral medications and vaccines, crucial for managing future outbreaks, demands interdisciplinary collaboration, regulatory oversight, and comprehensive clinical trials. In navigating the dynamic landscape of viral diseases, the exploration of natural sources complements conventional approaches, underlining the need for a holistic and balanced strategy.
