Abstract
Objective: As part of the fight against COVID 19, various phytochemicals obtained from medicinal plants and natural products are being explored as alternative and complementary solutions to treat contaminated patients. The current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of one of the most popular: clove or “Syzygium aromaticum L.”
Materials and Methods: In this sense, we conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study of 100 patients between the ages of 21 and 80, diagnosed positive for Covid-19, between October 2020 and January 2021, and administered between 2 and 3 clove buds, twice daily.
Results and discussion: Our study revealed that patients between the ages of 30 and 39 were the most affected, with women being the predominant (75%). The scanner showed a moderate Covid-19 attack (10-25%) in 72% of patients. Dried clove was used by 85% of patients, 81% of them noted an improvement in their overall condition after 48 hours of treatment. The use of clove is relatively significant with disease progression (p < 0,05). Indeed, complications were observed in the group of patients who did not use this medicinal plant.
Conclusion: Clove appears to be effective in the fight against COVID-19. It can be used to prevent and control symptoms associated with SARS-CoV-2.
