Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the dexterity and wits of Nigerians in the face of dire challenges. The low fatality recorded by Nigeria during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic attests to this. A minimal death rate bewilders experts, despite the speculation that Nigeria might experience a high death rate. Nigerians resorted to home remedies for prophylaxis and curative measures using available vitamin C enriched plants and vegetables. This brief review explored various plants and vegetables reported to have been utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria. The obvious is that many Nigerians use one or more plants and vegetables as a home remedy. This spurred the interest of Nigerian scientists in more researches in Nigeria with the aim of standardization and registration for use.
富含维生素C的植物和蔬菜在尼日利亚用于管理COVID-19的真相
2019冠状病毒病大流行显示了尼日利亚人在面对严峻挑战时的敏捷和智慧。尼日利亚在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间记录的低死亡率证明了这一点。尽管有人猜测尼日利亚的死亡率可能会很高,但最低的死亡率让专家们感到困惑。尼日利亚人利用现有的富含维生素C的植物和蔬菜采取家庭预防和治疗措施。这篇简短的综述探讨了据报道在尼日利亚COVID-19大流行期间使用的各种植物和蔬菜。显而易见的是,许多尼日利亚人使用一种或多种植物和蔬菜作为家庭疗法。这激发了尼日利亚科学家在尼日利亚进行更多研究的兴趣,目的是标准化和登记使用。
