Thai conventional medications and pharmacopoeia are recorded in conventional reference works and course readings. Ethnomedicine or inborn medication proceeds to play an imperative part and is still being practiced all through Thailand, counting within the private segment and through neighborhood healers and friars. The information and aptitudes of conventional healers was not as a rule recorded or composed but exchanged from era to era, father to child and educator to understudies [1]. The healers and botanists were regular the same individuals. The medicaments were ordinarily compound drugs, characterized as having hot, cold, or similarly hot and cold properties. The taste sensations of each herb are comparative to the exercises related with the therapeutic definition. Hot property drugs are determined from herbs that deliver warm within the body, such as new ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe).

Lanna was an old kingdom in Northern Thailand, covering eight provinces–Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phayao, Phrae, Nan, Lamphun, Lampang, and Mae Hong Child. Chiang Mai was the center of the Lanna Kingdom. Whereas the kingdom is gone, much of its culture remains within the individuals of the locale [3].

On the off chance that patients are treated with as it were YaTheep or YaKae medication, it'll take longer to recoup, and the illness will recur sooner [4]. The foremost common YaKae and YaTheep solutions that we found were referenced as Ya Kae Ha Ton and Ya Sri Munluang. This paper pointed to assemble the definitions of antiviral medicaments utilized in conventional mending from a assortment of sources within the Lanna locale of Northern Thailand: palm leaf original copies, mulberry bark original copies, interpretations, inquires about, archives composed by healers, interviews with society healers, and an stock of herbal plants and solutions within the locale [5]. In this consider, we goal looked the Thai conventional medication references for conventional herbs and medicaments that might offer guarantee for treating viral illnesses or their indications. From these preparatory ponders, we found that conventional therapeutic plants can treat viral infections and may be of advantage in treating developing irresistible infections, counting Covid-19.

Antiviral therapeutic plants in Lanna

We analysed palm leaf and mulberry bark original copies from the eight-province Lanna locale of Northern Thailand to discover conventional therapeutic equations that might offer antiviral properties. We found and analysed 1400 equations, mapping their conventional employments to diseases that are known nowadays to be viral, such as flu, a few side effects of harmful fever with or without hack, fever with asthma, chicken pox, and herpes zoster, skin rashes with abscesses or pustules, and measles.

In Thailand, this plant has been used to treat skin ailments. Leaves of C. natans are extracted with ethanol and used to prepare topical formulations to treat Herpes simplex virus and Varicella-zoster virus. The plant has been tested for several anti-viral properties, including anti-Cyprinid herpesvirus 3, anti-HSV type 1 activity, anti-HSV type 2 activities, and anti-Dengue virus [6-7]. Chlorophyll derivatives (phaeophytins) were extracted from leaves of C. natans and showed anti-Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) activities at subtoxic concentrations. These compounds could prevent the entry of the virus into cells. Nat Yai, has been used widely in Thai traditional medicine, including as a carminative, for relieving sinusitis pain, and preparing bath water for mothers after giving birth. The main compounds have been identified, and include essential oil, steroids, flavonoids, and coumarin [8-10]. Many anti-viral properties have been tested, including anti-HIV-1 integrase activity and anti-Zika virus (ZIKV). Antibacterial and antifungal activities against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Enterobacter cloacae have been reported.

The chemical compounds have been extracted from Caesalpinia sappan L, including brazilein, brazilin, protosappanin A, 3-deoxysappanchalcone, sappanchalcone, and rhamnetin. These compounds showed activities against neuraminidase (NA) inhibitory activity (anti-Influenza viral activities). sappan, Fabaceae, is distributed throughout Southeast Asia, Africa, and America. Its size was small to medium. The heartwood of C. sappan has been used to treat inflammatory disease, arthritis, and cancer. Other biological activities of this plant have also been investigated, including antioxidant activities and its protective effects against DNA damage.

Conclusion

We analyzed over one thousand conventional details made from different therapeutic plants to discover those that might offer antiviral properties. Past logical investigate upheld the antiviral properties of numerous of these definitions. As a few of the archives considered were over 100 a long time ancient, we were incapable to recognize a few of the plants referenced, as ancient names may not continuously be coordinated to their logical names. As it were a number of the plants we recognized based on their conventional employments as conceivably advertising antiviral properties have been explored both in vitro and in vivo. Encourage ponders are required to distinguish their dynamic components and instruments of activity.
