A study showed that, TCM is effective for preventing COVID-19, and we can avoid infection by taking a decoction made according to TCM principles (Zhao et al., 2021).
COVID-19 was categorized as a cold and dampness epidemic, and the pathogenic factors are found in the body's mucous membranes. COVID-19 is mostly found in the lungs, however here are exterior and interior relationships between the lungs and the large intestine.
TCM divides the disease into four stages according to the law of disease transmission. The early stages are characterized by dampness repressing the defensive qi of the lungs or of wind heat attacking the lungs. In the advanced stages, pathogenic heat accumulating in the lungs causes internal blockage and outward desertion.
