Herbal Formula in Focus: Bufei Huoxue

So you’ve just had covid-19, you’re feeling tired, and going for your regular walk feels like you’ve just run a marathon. What next?

Chinese Herbal formula, Bufei Huoxue, has recently been the focus of a study by Chen et al. (2022) where they explored its use on patients directly after contracting COVID-19. When compared to a placebo group, they found patients taking Bufei Huoxue had significant improvement in physiological activity, showing improved levels of both fatigue and exercise tolerance along with a greater reduction in pneumonia lesions on chest CT scans.
