Abstract
The COVID-19 has been spreading all over the world, and human health is at stake. Conventional medicine played an important role in the treatment and syndrome relief, while there is limited research evidence to support any prevention or antiviral treatment for COVID-19. YupingfengSan is a classic formula with the effect of replenishing qi, consolidating exterior, and arresting sweating. YupingfengSan has been widely used to treat various diseases in China and Southeast Asia for hundreds of years. Accumulating evidence suggests that YPFS has both immune-regulatory and anti-virus effects clinically, but leaving the mechanism elusive. In this paper, we reviewed the recent progress of YupingfengSan in immune-regulatory and anti-virus activities, including the effect on mucosal immunity, biological antagonism, macrophages, adaptive immunity, and NK cells. From this systematic review, we speculate that YPFS can play an effective role in the prevention of SARS-CoV-2, but further experimental studies are expected to investigate the specific mechanisms. This review suggests an alternative direction for the prevention of COVID-19.
