Interim Results of the Ongoing Long-/Post-Covid Study From the Hospital for Naturopathic Medicine in Munich. Abstract In December 2021, we started an in-house observational study at the Krankenhaus für Naturheilweisen (Clinic for Internal Medicine, Naturopathy and Homeopathy) on the topic of “Effectiveness of our Naturopathic Complex Treatment for Long-/Post-Covid Syndrome”.

How Well Do Antihistamines and Mast Cell Stabilizers Help with COVID-19?
