Authorities will continue to study the efficacy of a local herb in treating Covid-19 patients after promising results during a trial.
The second phase of the study aims to confirm whether the herb, whose scientific name is andrographis paniculata and known as fah talai jone , is efficient in treating the patients, according to the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine and three other agencies.

The Department of Thai Traditional Medicine is joining up with five state hospitals to start using Fah Talai Jone (Andrographis Paniculata) as a treatment option for early stage Covid-19 patients.
Dr Amporn Benjaponpitak, director-general of the department, said on Wednesday that finding an alternative was necessary now that there are so many new Covid-19 infections.
Tests on animals show that the herb contains substances that can reduce inflammation and may inhibit the replication of the virus. Tests on Covid-19 patients whose symptoms were not very severe showed them improving in three days without any side-effects.
