A Natural Approach to Long COVID

Now that we’ve emerged from the pandemic and COVID-19 and is a normal part of life, the next  step is to effectively manage Long COVID, also called post viral chronic fatigue (PVCF). With an estimated 300,000 Australian’s currently suffering with Long COVID, people are desperate to find solutions to this debilitating illness which can last several months, or sometimes longer.

Long COVID can have an impact on day-to-day function – affecting work, relationships and home life. Naturopathy has long been used to restore vibrancy and health in people suffering with PVCF and is now having remarkable results around the world with long COVID. Naturopathy takes a holistic approach, treating the whole person and not just the symptoms, to promote self-healing through scientific based nutrition, herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle advice. A consultation involves an extensive health assessment, pathology investigations and a treatment plan tailored to suit the patient’s health concerns and goals.  

Specialised naturopathic treatment for long COVID may include:

• Immune enhancing natural medicines to improve the body’s defences against viral infection
• Antiviral natural medicines to address the unresolved viral load
• Treat chronic inflammation to reduce body aches, tiredness and pain
• Support the nervous system and neurotransmitters to reduce anxiety and depression, build the body’s resistance to stress and improve sleep
• Support adrenal function to increase mental and physical energy
• Support gastrointestinal health, which has a follow-on effect with improving whole body health
• Recommend a specialised, antioxidant rich diet suited to the individual
