While new variants of COVID-19 continue to emerge, some people infected by COVID-19 long ago are still suffering from the effects of “long COVID.” From a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) perspective, symptoms of long COVID can be quickly alleviated by adjusting the gastrointestinal system. Making simple changes to everyday life can also help to reduce these symptoms.
Postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), also known as long COVID, refers to the after-effects of COVID-19, where symptoms persist for at least two to three months after the onset of the disease. Common symptoms include brain fog, headaches, coughing, asthma, chest pain, shortness of breath, diarrhea, fatigue, joint pain, and muscle aches. Some people may experience only one symptom, while others may have multiple symptoms.
