Post Covid Herbal Formula Sha Shen Mai Men Dong Tang After battling Covid many patients are still suffering with the lasting effects of the virus.Acupuncture is an effective method of treatment for strengthening the lungs and boosting the immune system. Treating symptoms such as shortness of breath and the loss of taste and smell requires multiple Acupuncture treatment to be effective, which is why I combine Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal medicine. Introducing Herbal Medicine into the recovery of long covid is a fast effective and inexpensive method of alleviating symptoms. (Fan et al. 2020) meta – analysis review of 732 patients treated for covid with Chinese Herbal medicine indicated a ‘superior effect on the change of symptoms’ no adverse reactions and improved lung CT scans.A formula I regularly recommend to my patients suffering with long covid symptoms is Sha Shen Mai Men Dong Tang. The formula clears excess heat from the lung, stops cough, breaks down phlegm, strengthens the stomach, and clears fever. Once the lungs and stomach are healthy the sense of taste and smell should return.Under international and national guideline all patients must undergo a consultation with a registered herbal practitioner prior to purchasing Chinese Herbal Medicine.For more information contact Donal Byrne AFPA, AFI, Lic.
