Dalmia Centre for Research and Development (DCRD), after many years of extensive research developed a polyherbal combination of 15 herbs called Astha -15 and we have derived dhl Coronavirus preventive capsule from the same composition and all the important herbs mentioned in the Indian System of Medicine. dhl Coronavirus preventive capsule originally as Astha-15 has undergone a randomized double blind, placebo-controlled study on patients Speciality Govt. Hospital for Thoracic medicine, Chennai, India under the watchful eyes of internationally recognized respiratory physicians who followed a peer reviewed ethically approved clinical protocol to assess the efficacy of dhl Coronavirus in comparison to the modern medicines.  

The unique blend of 15 herbs involved in dhl Coronavirus provide immunity to the person. It also acts as a bronchodilator, decongestant, anti-inflammatory and lung detoxifier. According to the double-blind study using DCBT4567 – dhl Coronavirus, it was found that the patients tested had significant reduction (95% significance) in dyspnoea, wheezing cough, expectoration, disability and sleep disturbances. dhl Coronavirus which was originally taken from the brand Astha-15 did not exhibit any of the side-effects normally observed with allopathic drugs.  

COVID-19 also known as Coronavirus has affected more than 87,000 people across the world. It has flu like symptoms which includes running nose, cough, fever, body pain and breathlessness. Lungs are exposed to approximately 7000 litres of air every day. The viruses being air-borne are inhaled through the nose and reaches the lungs where it attacks the cell machinery and starts the replication thus lowering the immunity of the host and causing flu-like symptoms in the body. The breathlessness caused by the virus is also due to the loss of the lining of the alveolar cells.

Herbs and plants naturally contain many active chemicals and thus drugs derived from such sources can have multiple health benefits when administered to patients. Due to the presence of multiple active compounds in phytomedicines, they are an ideal candidate for treating conditions with a variety of symptoms such as inflammatory diseases which affect multiple systems.

Herbal medicine-derived natural products can be considered as an alternative therapeutic potential for respiratory diseases since several compounds showed anti-inflammatory effects inhibition different inflammatory mediators involved in respiratory diseases.

It is believed that the natural products derived from plants inhibit the pulmonary inflammation by the inhibition of the transcription of NF-κB to the nucleus, thus preventing the development of all the inflammatory processes triggered by allergen, cigarette smoke, virus, or bacteria. Therefore, herbal supplements can reduce the inflammatory cytokines release and oxidative stress. These effects together culminate with the improvement of lung function and with the reduction of pulmonary inflammation.

Most of the studies are pointing out the effects of natural products on the inhibition of NF-κB and MAPK pathways, besides the antioxidant effects associated with these products.
