RESUMEN
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. © 2022 by the authors.
RESUMEN
The COVID-19 pandemic occurred over two years and has not yet been finished. There are some possible Chinese medicines formulations used to prevent and treat COVID-19. Single pure herbal such as curcumin is the most common to combat SARS-CoV-2 with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antitumor, and hepatoprotective properties. This short communication describes another single pure herbal, "Celastrol”, research progress and its nanosystem for the treatment of COVID-19. © 2022 by the authors.
RESUMEN
Radix Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen) is a Chinese herbal used in China to treat irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, insomnia, swelling liver, and angina pectoris. It also has various pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, anti-tumor, anti-atherogenesis, and anti-diabetes. However, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), e.g., Danshen, lacks quality control. Pesticide residues and heavy metals are the most important problems, although Danshen may cure many diseases, even SARS-CoV-2 in a COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, the present short commentary discusses the background of Danshen, quality management, and its application to COVID-19.

RESUMEN
The COVID-19 pandemic has not yet finished. Many scientists are still thinking about how to measure the SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater. Curcumin is traditional Chinese medicine with various biological activities, such as antimicrobial and antiviral properties. However, due to its lower bioavailability, curcumin is required with the help of nanotechnology to enhance these characteristics. Could curcumin be used for the removal or purification of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater? This short communication describes the background of COVID-19, the research progress of curcumin, and its nanonisation to remove or purify SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater. © 2022 by the authors.
