Now speeding up the development of white galingale extract to be used as a drug for COVID-19 And the information must be reliable and meet international standards.

On June 30, 2023, at the 20th National Herb Expo, the academic works contest stage on herbs Thai traditional medicine Folk Medicine and Alternative Medicine This year there are contestants. and has been selected for research awards from various agencies One of which is interesting research. “Research and development of galingale extract for clinical use for anti-Covid infection” presented by Assoc.Prof.Dr. Pisit KhemawutChakrin Naruebodindra Medical Institute Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital Mahidol University Revealed in some episodes that White galingale has anti-infective effects and can help treat COVID. Because research has found that White galingale extract can inhibit the growth of COVID.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phisit Khemawut said that If you ask how clinical research is important to raise the level of herbal medicine….it’s very important because if we study only Pre-clinic or in vitro. But there is no real human use data. We will not be able to apply these experimental results to other countries, even if we are familiar with Thai herbs but foreign countries are not familiar with. Therefore, if there is no clinical data to confirm We will not be able to use it abroad. We also need to make the information reliable and meet international standards. Which, if we can do it and the results are good, will increase the credibility of Thai herbs internationally.
As for the clinical trial results, how will they be utilized or how will they be further developed for the overall benefits….. for example During the Delta COVID pandemic It can be seen that the hospital cannot accommodate all patients. If we have research results on good herbs such as Andrographis paniculata that help prevent COVID patients from becoming pneumonia. Patients do not need to come to the hospital admin. Therefore, it will clearly reduce the burden on the hospital and patients will be able to take better care of themselves as well. So if we have reliable research that can tell patients that When it’s COVID, if taking Andrographis paniculata or herbal medicine will help alleviate the symptoms.
however From research studies on the use of herbal medicines “Ginger extract” It was found that most of them had no problem. But some of the problems encountered are In the galingale extract, there is no virus-killing substance alone. But there are also essential oils. which is attached to regarding 40%, it has a carminative effect and stimulates the gastrointestinal tract, therefore, “King Krachai” if eaten too much can cause diarrhea, which is considered a side effect of the herb Krachai. Therefore, patients with mild gastrointestinal symptoms or who are already ill should eat carefully and not overeat as it can worsen their symptoms.
