In 23 of 26 provinces in mainland China, Traditional Chinese herbal medicine is used in conjunction with Western medicine to combat the severe respiratory distress Covid-19 produces. These treatments have been inspired by the SARS outbreak originating in Guangdong China in 2002 where the fatality rate was 18% in both Hongkong and Singapore; and 52% in Beijing. After implementation of TCM herbal therapy the fatality rate dropped to 1% and 4%.
According to the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (NATCM) the Chinese herbal formula Qing Fei Pai Du Tang has a clinical effective rate of 90%. Similarly the Beijing Health Commission reports 92% efficacy. Please keep in mind that these are based on case studies and not double blind randomized controlled trials. Currently we are without a definitive treatment for the novel virus Covid-19, but these reports look promising.
