Editorial: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome observed post-COVID-19: the role of natural products, medicinal plants and nutrients and the use of prediction tools supporting traditional forms of diagnosis

Covid-19 causes acute inflammation in humans.

This inflammation can cause a cascade of symptoms as discussed in our paper:

COVID-19: The Inflammation Link and the Role of Nutrition in Potential Mitigation

Since the onset of the pandemic, a lot of research efforts have been dedicated on this topic: the link of Covid-19 and its inflammatory effects.

In our latest editorial, we summarise some of these efforts:

Editorial: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome observed post-COVID-19: the role of natural products, medicinal plants and nutrients and the use of prediction tools supporting traditional forms of diagnosis

This Research Topic explored innovative approaches to address post-COVID inflammatory syndromes using natural products, medicinal plants, nutrients, and integrative diagnostic methods. The articles in this collection investigate a range of natural compounds and plant-based medicines for their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties that may help alleviate lingering post-COVID symptoms. Additionally, the potential of nutritional interventions and traditional diagnostic techniques to support patients with post-COVID syndromes is examined.

The research presented in this collection explores several promising avenues for natural interventions. These include the use of specific vitamins and nutrients to support immune function and reduce inflammation, herbal extracts with known anti-inflammatory properties, and comprehensive lifestyle interventions addressing diet and physical activity. By targeting multiple aspects of post-COVID syndromes simultaneously, these integrative approaches may offer advantages over single-target pharmaceutical interventions.

Moreover, this Research Topic delves into the potential of traditional diagnostic methods to complement conventional techniques in assessing and monitoring patients with post-COVID syndromes. These approaches may provide valuable insights into the complex interplay of symptoms and underlying physiological imbalances, allowing for more personalized and holistic treatment strategies. As our understanding of post-COVID syndromes continues to evolve, this research provides valuable insights into natural therapeutic options that may work in concert with conventional treatments to improve outcomes for affected patients.
