According to the news in the media about the report of the research results. Efficiency results of Andrographis paniculata in patients with COVID-19 A case study of the Efficacy and Safety of Andrographis Paniculata Project in Patients with COVID-19 asymptomatic or less symptomatic by the Public Health Systems Research Institute (HSRI) makes people and people who use local wisdom on health folk medicine Thai traditional medicine and the use of herbs for self-reliance in the community Confusion and fear of the use of Andrographis paniculata Because information from Research Project Executive Summary Efficacy and safety of Andrographis paniculata extract Published on the HSRI website (specify the message that “It was found that taking Andrographis paniculata extract would have a statistically significant risk of hepatitis” and proposed it to the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine. And the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning, “Should be issued a warning about the use of herbs (Andrographis Paniculata) that there are reports of hepatitis.”

The Northern Folk Healer Network by Mr. Ronakiat Khamnoi has followed this report. and saw that the published executive summary May mislead the public because “This research study was done simultaneously in 2 areas, Saraburi and Prachinburi. It was found that the Saraburi area Andrographis paniculata extract drug use There are no release details yet. But the Prachinburi area used Andrographis paniculata powder with andrographolide 180 mg/day, which was compared with placebo in both areas for Prachinburi area. Researchers have published the preliminary results of the study through online media. Described as effect on the liver is that the liver enzyme value (ALT) was more than 3 times higher after treatment, which was found in the placebo group, found 1 person, representing 0.78% and in those who ate andrographis paniculata, found 2 people, representing 1.48%, but 1 person found on day 28 after treatment which is the date of the patient’s appointment to come to the hospital to check the liver enzymes for the last time and the liver enzymes had decreased to normal, and another person had elevated enzyme values ​​on day 3 and started to decrease on day 10 before hospital discharge. and interesting is Not all patients experienced complications from elevated liver enzymes. Or it can be said that there are no abnormal symptoms that have been shown.”

hastily concluded that “Andrographis paniculata for 5 consecutive days will cause hepatitis. shocked and frightened the public In which the results of the report and the information received are unlikely to be able to draw conclusions like that. A network of indigenous healers working to promote the use of herbs for self-reliance. And in the past, during the COVID-19 crisis, the villagers received aphrodisiac paniculata. Resolve fever and various symptoms well. It is a refuge to alleviate the severity of the disease and the congestion in the hospital as well.

The network sees the importance of research studies. And in this limited time, the results of the study may be incomplete. Andrographis paniculata does not reduce the incidence of pneumonia or reduce the symptoms and decrease the viral load. This may be from other factors such as being vaccinated. Variation of virus strains therefore supporting research agencies to work continuously In order to have an answer for Thai society to provide herbs that are relied on by the people, both difficult and normal, and able to cope with crises as well

Mrs. Jaroon Apiwatthanapong, director of Mae Tuad Police Hospital, Wang Chin District, Phrae Province, said that in the countryside, methamphetamine is important and effective. Especially during the COVID-19 situation Andrographis paniculata has fewer side effects than paracetamol, of course. The use of Andrographis paniculata does not need to be eaten continuously for a long time. Therefore, there is no danger from using andrographis paniculata in any way.

However, the relevant agencies Should clarify ASAP Research agencies should present detailed research results because incomplete research results may affect the image of Andrographis paniculata.
