New Coronavirus Disease COVID-19 is a virus that was identified on January 13, 2020, and showed symptoms such as fever, dyspnea and cough, which appeared in Wuhan, China, towards the end of 2019. The virus, which is still effective in 2023, has mutated many times and new variants have emerged. COVID 19 is a highly contagious disease that multiplies extremely quickly and takes over all systems of the body. The disease is more severe in individuals with comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, kidney failure, and immune deficiency. There is no treatment yet with proven efficacy and safety for COVID-19, and this prompts patients to use Traditional, Complementary, and Functional Medicine Practices (T&CM). This article discusses chronic diseases and T&CM use in the COVID-19 pandemic.
