In the light of research carried out by scientists from Novosibirsk, a new facet opens in the fight against the coronavirus.
The research team claims that common lichen could be the key to defeating this virus.
Taiga lichen has long been known for its healing properties and has been used in folk medicine to combat various ailments.
A scientific team isolated usnic acid from bearded usnea. This lichen-derived acid has antiviral properties and is less toxic. Researchers claim that its use prevents the virus from multiplying, which results in reducing its life cycle to 8-10 hours.
Such a discovery opens up new perspectives for the treatment of COVID-19 and other viral diseases. The use of natural components in medicine makes it possible to avoid the negative side effects that often occur when using synthetic drugs. Thus, the probability of successful treatment in patients with coronavirus increases significantly.
