Article Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a widespread viral infection that causes millions of high-risk illnesses annually. Medicinal herbs such as ginseng root, echinacea purpurea, and radix astragali have a positive effect on antiviral activity by preventing viral adhesion, syncytial development, inhibiting viral internalization, relieving respiratory inflammation, strengthening the immune system, and stimulating the release of interferons. The potential benefits of natural products in terms of lower costs, better patient outcomes, and fewer adverse effects are discussed. This review examines the current evidence on the prevention and control of RSV with natural ingredients and the challenges and opportunities in clinical practice.
