No results found.A new coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) had shocked our economy and our lives causing panic and chaos since February 2020. This novel disease locked us down at home and collapsed the Health System in Bolivia which caused thousands of deaths for the lack of prompt attention. This situation drove unprotected population to seek for alternative treatments under the favorable legislation for Ancestral Traditional Medicine using Non-Wood Forest Products, plants and trees. Traditional Medicine had been an alternative treatment for human diseases for centuries and its practices were transmitted by person to person. Nowadays, in the emergence of this new disease, the scientific research had noted that some NWFP and parts of plants and trees had striking effects on respiratory diseases such as SARS, MERS and SARS-CoV2. These studies showed promising results in inhibiting, preventing and coating against the new coronavirus with a wide variety of preparations and presentations. To show the latest research on Alternative Medicine, an accurate scientific literature review was made that allowed the classification in three Groups: (10) to prevent infection and enhance immunity, (14) essential oils for vaporization and (3) antiviral coating. On the Bolivian scenario, there are two groups of medicinal plants for respiratory diseases. The group of Infusions is composed by 21 species from 14 families. The group of vaporization is composed by 4 species from 4 families. Furthermore, the legal enabling environment in the Bolivian scenario with the Law No 459 Ancestral Traditional Medicine and the Alternative Treatment for the COVID-19 disease with Non Wood Forestal Products and parts of plants are novel public policies for all Bolivians.
