Abstract

Dandelion is a herbal plant recorded in the China Pharmacopoeia of a People's Republic. It contains useful chemical constituents or active ingredients with pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and antibacterial properties. Since COVID-19 has happened for over three years, there is no reasonable treatment up to the display. This brief commentary introduces the knowledge of dandelion, the background of COVID-19, and dandelion's mechanisms of pharmaceutical activities because it may be a conceivable candidate for combating SARS-CoV-2.
