With the advancement of coronavirus pneumonia in the world, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining ground thanks to the achievements made in its treatment in China.
The prevention and control of new contagious diseases is an unconventional war. Every time humanity faces these kinds of ills like SARS, Influenza A and Ebola, it also faces a “union commitment”, since it takes time to develop specific vaccines and antiviral drugs.
The COVID-19 pandemic poses similar challenges. However, MTC has proven effective through proprietary Chinese medicines like Jinhua Qinggan granules, Lianhua Qingwen capsules, Shufeng Jiedu capsules, as well as Qingfei Paidu decoction, Huashi Baidu formula, and Xuanfei BaiDu granules.
According to statistics, more than 70,000 patients with COVID-19 in China received MTC treatment, representing 91.5% of the total, and it has been shown to be effective in more than 90% of cases in clinical use.
This option seeks integration and harmony, and that is why it can resist new contagious diseases. For example, the QingfeiPaidu decoction “ejects” the virus instead of “killing it”, here are its effects in this pandemic. By removing heat, moisture, and toxins, MTC modifies the virus’s living environment, its source of vitality, and improves the immunity of its carrier.
Thus, it strengthens the immune system and eliminates pathogenic factors, and this time it played a vital role in the fight against COVID-19. The regions that adopted it massively at an early stage had a relatively lower mortality. The facts demonstrate that MTC is a sharp weapon against the new coronavirus.
Viruses do not respect borders and the pandemic does not know ethnic origin. It is urgent and important to build a community with a shared future for humanity in order to face this global public health emergency. Expanding the benefit of this discipline in the world shows the responsibility of China as a power country, as well as the cultural confidence of the Chinese nation.
China has cooperated in a timely manner with WHO, shared its experience in treating the disease with MTC. He translated the latest diagnostic and treatment protocols into English and published them on the website of the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In addition, relevant departments and organizations have donated Chinese patent medicines, decoction herbs, and acupuncture needles to more than 10 countries and regions, including Italy and France.
TCM is a treasure of Chinese civilization and can contribute its wisdom and outline in the global fight against COVID-19.
This type of medicine is gaining more and more recognition in the world. Last May, the 72nd World Health Assembly adopted the eleventh revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11), incorporating it for the first time.
However, it still lacks an adequate understanding of cultural differences. During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients are advised to take medications under the guidance of MTC professionals to avoid adverse reactions. Although it has spread to more than 200 countries and regions, its products still do not have sanitary approval in some developed nations. Under the proposal of the Health Silk Road with other countries for the sake of collaboration in traditional medicine, it is expected to play a key role and bring people closer.
The TCM has as a starting point thousands of years of accumulated wisdom and philosophies and health practices of the Chinese nation, and concentrates the broad wisdom of the Chinese people. To fight the challenges of global health, boost cooperation in the field and improve its governance, the MTC will surely unlock great potential and will more than fulfill this unique and important task.
