Recently, COVID-19 viral infection has emerged and spread across the globe. Currently, no specific drugs are available in the treatment of this infection. Thus, there is a need for specific drugs or herbal molecules against this infection.

Further, the proposed mechanism of action of these herbals against COVID-19 has also been discussed. Finally, this chapter concludes with current challenges and the future perspectives of using herbals against COVID-19 infections.
