The corona virus vaccine and its treatment, which turned into international competition, also increased the interest in alternative medicine and various herbs. The World Health Organization (WHO) also made a statement regarding the research done for the treatment of corona virus.
According to the report in Reuters, the statement made by WHO stated that alternative medicine has many benefits and should be supported in this process.
‘HERBAL’ MIXTURE AGAINST CORONA
After Madagascar President Andry Rahoelina announced that the Cornflower Broom plant was good for the corona virus, the herbal mixture produced from this plant and not yet tested started to be distributed to African countries.
IT NEEDS TO GO THROUGH CLINICAL RESEARCH
After the incident, WHO officials, who stated that they have been working with institutions conducting research on the use of alternative medicine against corona, said, “It is critical that the effects of the mixture undergo strict clinical trials, even if the treatment is derived from traditional practice.”
Stating that many plants are recommended without a clinical trial and the use of these plants may endanger human life, WHO officials warned to be careful about wrong information, especially on social media.
