DOST: Lagundi, tawa-tawa effective in easing COVID19 symptoms

MANILA—Lagundi and tawa-tawa are effective in easing COVID-19 symptoms among mild to moderate virus patients, the science department said Saturday.

The official explained that based on their clinical trials, lagundi, the plant also commonly used to treat cough, helped ease the loss of smell or anosmia among virus patients. The separate clinical trials on lagundi was concluded in August, while the comprehensive data of the study on virgin coconut oil has been published on the Journal of Functional Foods, Guevarra added.

"Na-conclude ng ating team na ang lagundi safe nang gamitin for symptomatic treatment of mild COVID-19 cases for those without comorbidities," Guevarra said. While the clinical studies have yet to directly establish its anti-viral properties, Filipino scientists have established what these 3 supplements could do to alleviate symptoms.
