The second is considering the possibility of inadequate access to medicine at the international level for various reasons, including the lack of financial resources needed to prepare the drug, possible sanctions, or time-consuming access, which makes it even more necessary to pay attention to the importance of herbal medicines. According to what has been mentioned above, two short-term and long-term approaches are proposed to benefit from the regional capacity and potential of medicinal plants and to compensate for the lost date of medicinal plants. In the short-term solution, the codification and immediate implementation of comprehensive and infrastructure programs to prevent and manage the outbreak of the covid19 disease by highlighting the role of prevention in families.

The long-term approach is having the support of the government and policymakers in recognition the ancient Iranian medicine, valuing and designating funding in expanding researches in this field, advocacy the existing centers of traditional medicine, preventing the easy sailing of related raw products, and considering medicinal plants in the medical structure of the country.
