Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as one of the most significant health challenges in the 21st century, affecting millions worldwide. It was caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This pandemic underscores the severe threats that infectious diseases can impose, regardless of a country's technological advancement. Objective: This research aims to understand the role and impact of traditional medicine in its treatment. Methods: The study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design and focused on a sample of 450 adults who had been diagnosed with COVID-19. Participants were chosen based on specific criteria through an online survey. The research spanned from July 5th to August 7th, 2021. Results: The findings revealed that in Libya, traditional remedies, particularly medicinal plants, were occasionally employed in treating COVID-19. Significantly, these natural remedies were found effective in managing respiratory symptoms associated with COVID-19. Notably, honey, Indian costus, ginger, turmeric, and moringa showed a positive correlation in treating respiratory complications. Conclusion: The research indicated a trend where younger respondents leaned more toward using a diverse range of plants for disease prevention. Additionally, it was observed that individuals with a lower income were more inclined to use various plants for treatment purposes. This study emphasizes the potential role of traditional remedies in managing and mitigating some of the symptoms of COVID-19.

“…Moreover, in the study of Cerda-Bernad et al [ 32 ], in which the potential of chitosan and alginate base hydrogels as carriers for phenolic compounds was explored, the authors used NaDESs combined with UAE. Furthermore, NaDESs have been proposed as a method to increase the bioavailability of other natural bioactive compounds in addition to polyphenols, such as quassinoids and alkaloids from Eurycoma longifolia [ 33 ], triterpene saponins from Aralia elata [ 34 ], polysaccharides from Auricularia auricula [ 35 ], and phlorotannins from Fucus vesiculosus [ 36 ].…”

Saffron (Crocus sativus) floral by-products are a source of phenolic compounds that can be recovered and used in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic industries. This study aimed to evaluate the phenolic compounds’ extraction using green extraction techniques (GETs) in saffron floral by-products and to explore the influence of selected extraction techniques on the phytochemical composition of the extracts. Specifically, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), subcritical water extraction (SWE), and deep eutectic solvents extraction (DESE) were used. Phenolic compounds were identified with (HR) LC-ESI-QTOF MS/MS analysis, and the quantitative analysis was performed with HPLC-PDA. Concerning the extraction techniques, UAE showed the highest amount for both anthocyanins and flavonoids with 50:50% v/v ethanol/water as solvent (93.43 ± 4.67 mg/g of dry plant, dp). Among SWE, extraction with 96% ethanol and t = 125 °C gave the best quantitative results. The 16 different solvent mixtures used for the DESE showed the highest amount of flavonoids (110.95 ± 5.55–73.25 ± 3.66 mg/g dp), while anthocyanins were better extracted with choline chloride:butane-1,4-diol (16.0 ± 0.80 mg/g dp). Consequently, GETs can be employed to extract the bioactive compounds from saffron floral by-products, implementing recycling and reduction of waste and fitting into the broader circular economy discussion.
