Long Covid, also known as Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), is a condition where people experience persistent symptoms following a Covid-19 infection. While some individuals recover from Covid-19 without any long-lasting effects, others continue to experience a range of physical and cognitive symptoms that can last for months after the initial infection. Long Covid can affect people of all ages and can occur even if the initial Covid-19 infection was mild or asymptomatic.
Symptoms of Long Covid can vary widely and can include fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, joint pain, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, insomnia, and depression, among others. These symptoms can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, making it difficult to carry out daily activities and maintain employment.
Research into Long Covid is ongoing, and there is currently no one-size-fits-all treatment plan. Medical professionals may recommend a combination of medications, physical therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy to help manage symptoms.
Chinese Medicine for the treatment of Long Covid
The Jade Screen project was set up in April 2020 by a group of UK-based Chinese herbal medicine practitioners in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The name Jade Screen is taken from an 800 year old herbal formula designed to protect against infectious disease.
Our main aim was to support frontline workers inside and outside of the NHS whose work places them at risk of catching COVID-19 and many of whom are struggling to recover weeks and months after testing positive for the virus.
I feel proud to have been part of this initiative and we have seen excellent results applying the principles of Chinese Medicine to the condition which falls under the category of ‘lingering pathogens’ for which there are many approaches. We are also seeing the adverse effects of post vaccination spike protein damage in clinic for which herbal medicine and acupuncture has provided substantial help to many.
