Purpose: To assess traditional medicine practice claims by the community for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 422 households of Jimma Zone, and the data were collected by interviewing individuals from the selected households. The medicinal plants were recorded on Microsoft excel 2010 with their parts used, dosage form, route of administration and source of plants and tabulated in the table. Descriptive statistics were used to describe and organize the data. The Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC) was calculated for each traditional medicine to identify the top 10 medicinal products.
Results: Around 46% of participants used traditional medicines for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. The study recorded 32 herbal and non-herbal medicinal products. Garlic (RFC: 0.166), ginger (RFC: 0.133), lemon (RFC: 0.133), garden cress (RFC: 0.069) and “Damakase” (RFC: 0.031) were the frequently used herbal medicines. Seeds (47.22%) and leaves (30.56%) were the most used parts of medicinal plants. Most preparation of medicinal plants (90.63%) was administered through the oral route. The majority of medicinal plants were from home gardens.
Conclusions and Recommendations: Around half of the participants practiced traditional medicines for COVID-19. Garlic, ginger, lemon, garden cress and “Damakase” were the frequently used herbal products. Seeds and leaves were regularly used parts. The oral route is the most used route of administration. The majority of medicinal plants were from home gardens. This quantity of traditional medicine practice is probably challenging to control the pandemic. However, it might open possibilities for pharmaceutical industries and researchers to look into the effectiveness and safety of claimed medicinal products. Therefore, all responsible bodies are advocated to behave accordingly.

COVID-19 大流行背景下的传统医学实践：埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚吉马区的社区主张
目的：评估社区对预防和治疗 COVID-19 的传统医学实践要求。
方法：以社区为基础的横断面研究设计在吉马区的 422 户中进行，并通过采访选定家庭的个人来收集数据。药用植物在 Microsoft excel 2010 上记录了它们的使用部位、剂型、给药途径和植物来源，并在表格中列出。描述性统计用于描述和组织数据。计算了每种传统药物的相对引用频率 (RFC)，以确定排名前 10 位的医药产品。
结果：大约 46% 的参与者使用传统药物来预防和治疗 COVID-19。该研究记录了 32 种草药和非草药产品。大蒜 (RFC: 0.166)、生姜 (RFC: 0.133)、柠檬 (RFC: 0.133)、水芹 (RFC: 0.069) 和“Damakase” (RFC: 0.031) 是常用的草药。种子（47.22%）和叶子（30.56%）是药用植物最常用的部分。大多数药用植物制剂（90.63%）通过口服途径给药。大多数药用植物来自家庭花园。
结论和建议：大约一半的参与者为 COVID-19 使用传统药物。大蒜、生姜、柠檬、水芹和“Damakase”是常用的草药产品。种子和叶子是经常使用的部分。口服途径是最常用的给药途径。大多数药用植物来自家庭花园。这种数量的传统医学实践可能对控制大流行具有挑战性。然而，它可能为制药行业和研究人员研究声称的医药产品的有效性和安全性提供了可能性。因此，提倡所有负责机构采取相应的行动。
