Traditional Chinese Medicine is effective for COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis

A review of 26 randomized controlled trials with nearly 3000 patients using the PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, medRxiv and bioRxiv databases as well as the Chinese database revealed that the results provide strong clinical evidence for the efficacy of medicinal formulas of MTC vs Korona.

The study showed that the COVID-19 can be treated effectively by TCM medicinal formulae combining with conventional treatment, in comparison with the pure conventional treatment.  

"The advantages of the TCM medicine are effective, cheap, preventive, and personalized, particularly it can be promptly improved according to the change of pandemic pattern. These characteristics of the TCM medicine are particularly important for current situation that the effective anti-virus drugs are still not available yet", according to authors.
