COVID-19 is a deadly serious infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, spreading widely with a rise in number of deaths every day. Because of the rapid transmission, various research domains have much responsibility to find a suitable drug or vaccine as soon as possible within a short time to save lives. Plant based chemical constituents serve as potential therapeutics against COVID-19, which is evident by current reports of screening phytochemicals against potential targets by computational techniques. Medicinal plants are used since ancient times and are known highly for their effective treatment of several infectious diseases. This review summarizes the use of medicinal plants to treat COVID-19 infection and aims to draw more attention towards investigating potent chemical constituents from medicinal plants.
